ABSTRACT:
A water-borne hazard detection and water treatment system includes sensors (e.g., flow rate, microorganism detectors, and chemical detectors) and can be microprocessor controlled. Microorganisms and/or chemicals are detected within a water distribution system. Treatment areas can be deployed at various stages along a water distribution system. Water entering/passing through a “treatment area” are subjected to light emanating from an ultraviolet laser. UV treated water is provided to its intended point of use after treatment. Filtration can be deployed around input and/or output locations of a system. The system is networkable for communication to remote monitoring agencies (e.g., command and control units) through wired and/or wireless network communications and devices. Networked monitoring and assessment enables rapid deployment of counter measures within affected water distribution systems and populated communities. Emergency distribution shut-off through the distribution network can be based on input from distributed sensors. Multiple treatment systems can be staged.
