Abstract

According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for water quality monitoring and early detection of a contamination event is provided. The method can include receiving a first water characteristic value corresponding with a water characteristic. The method can include determining a second water characteristic value corresponding with the water characteristic using a prediction algorithm having a tunable parameter, based on the first water characteristic value and the tunable parameter. The method can include comparing the first water characteristic value and the second water characteristic value. The method can include determining a residual value, based on the comparing. The method can include updating the tunable parameter, based on the determined residual value. The method can include determining if the contamination event is present, based on the residual value. The method can include sending an alert, based on determining the presence of the contamination event.
