Resources for Designing Water Quality Surveillance and Response Systems

These resources support the design and implementation of an integrated Water Quality Surveillance and Response System (SRS).

• Capabilities Assessment Tool - helps users identify existing resources that can be leveraged to improve a utility's water quality surveillance and response capabilities.
• Information Management Requirements Development Tool - helps users define, consolidate, and prioritize requirements for an information management system that supports real-time distribution system monitoring through the components of an SRS.

• Guidance for Developing Integrated Water Quality Surveillance and Response Systems (pdf) (4.74 MB)
  Provides guidance for applying system engineering principles to the design and implementation of an SRS to ensure that the system functions as an integrated whole.
• Framework for Comparing Alternatives for Water Quality Surveillance and Response Systems (pdf) (2.09 MB)
  Provides a framework for the systematic and objective analysis of alternative SRS designs using lifecycle costs and qualitative evaluation criteria.
• Dashboard Design Guidance for SRSs (pdf) (9.86 MB)
  Provides guidance for designing a visually oriented information management system that presents an integrated view of information from the components of an SRS.
