Abstract
The article presents a multi-criteria functional model developed to analyze physicochemical and microbiological tests of drinking water for real-time monitoring. The model components comprise software and hardware units designed to collect real-time measurement, data storage, transmission and visualization for alphanumerical data of physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters of drinking water. The article will present a new concept useful in treating accidental water contamination: the ability to make determinations of physicochemical parameters using a portable electronic module portable, energetically autonomous, placed “on the spot”, which wirelessly transmits data to the water operator’s server, and hence to the national authority server. Data will be displayed in real time as a graphical evolution in time of decontamination. This functional model will serve the implementation, with low costs, of computer technology at local and national level for water quality controlling. The development of an information technology improves the methods of assessing water quality by using monitoring results as a basis for risk management actions.
