The safety and or security of drinking water can be threatened by natural disasters, accidents or malevolent attacks. The European FP7 project SAFEWATER aims at developing a comprehensive event detection and event management solution for drinking water security management and mitigation against major deliberate, accidental or natural CBRN related contaminations. New cost-effective C, B, and RN sensors will be developed. An innovative concept with a broad network of low-cost sensors – “domestic sensors” (complementary to a set of sensors in strategic locations) will be developed. A technology platform will be provide which is able to capture and analyze the data collected by the sensors and from other information systems and give a full overview of the crisis to the responders by means of online look-ahead simulations to efficiently manage potential crises. For testing the SAFEWATER solution it will be integrated with on utility-partners’ information systems
