Abstract
Water resources are subject to ever increasing risks of pollution. At the same time, more stringent quality requirements are being imposed on water destined for human consumption. To cope with this situation, water resources managers have set up early warning stations upstream of water treatment installations. Such warning stations are equipped with different sensors of a physical, chemical and biological nature.
