It is edited and written by leading water professionals and experts, and binds together interests and competences within sensing technology, system behavior, business needs, legislation, education, data handling, and intelligent response algorithms.  The book contains chapters on: -\tthe history of water monitoring and early sensors -\tthe current landscape of microbiological sensors and different measuring concepts  -\tneeds from the water industry  -\tdetailed description of several state-of-the-art sensor technologies -\twater industry case stories with operator experience  -\texamples of on-line data collection and data handling  -\tmicrobiological sensors applied in education and industry workshops -\tregulator aspects of introducing microbiological sensors  It is the hope that the book will be widely used by water utility managers, technical staff working with drinking water safety, educators in the field of water quality and regulators in this field worldwide. Furthermore, that it will help bridge the gaps between these diverse and otherwise differently oriented water professionals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditorial preface  Foreword by Eberhard Morgenroth  Foreword by Koen Huysman  About the Editors  List of Contributors     Section 1 - Background and perspectives  Chapter 1 - History and perspective – the challenge of the gap between legislation and scientific achievements: The new era of enlightenment  Chapter 2 - The need for speed – rapid evolution of microbiological testing in drinking water  Chapter 3 - Microbiological sensors for drinking water: Terminology and central concepts     Section 2 - Industry needs  Chapter 4 - Water quality monitoring at Danish utilities – current state and needs for the future  Chapter 5 - On-line monitoring of bacteria in drinking water systems: Expected benefits and new challenges for utility operators     Section 3 - Sensor technologies  Chapter 6 - Use of fully automated bacterial monitors for enhanced water safety  Chapter 7 - Online flow cytometry: Towards a rapid, robust, and reliable microbial sensor  Chapter 8 - Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) measurement technology  Chapter 9 - Counting totally matters – using GRUNDFOS BACMON for network monitoring  Chapter 10 - Safety and quality control in drinking water systems by online monitoring of enzymatic activity of faecal indicators and total bacteria  Chapter 11 - Mean oxidation state of organic carbon: A novel application to evaluate the extent of oxidation of natural organic matter in drinking water biological treatment     Section 4 - Data collection and interpretation  Chapter 12 - Test of sensor technologies for monitoring of microbiological drinking water quality  Chapter 13 - From sensor to decision – augmented and automated decision-making based on real-time data     Section 5 - Water safety, education and legislation  Chapter 14 - HACCP in drinking water systems  Chapter 15 - Enhancing knowledge of microbiological sensors through education  Chapter 16 - Challenges of regulatory compliance using sensor technology for drinking water distribution systems     Index","brand":"IWA Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53734163546455,"sku":"9781780408682","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/microbiological-sensors-for-the-drinking-water-industry-9781780408682","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
