Impact/Purpose:
The CANARY event detection software was developed to enhance the detection of contaminants in drinking water. Many drinking water utilities collect real-time data from sensors located throughout the water distribution network. The sensors measure water quality parameters such as pH, residual chlorine, total organic carbon, and specific conductance. CANARY analyzes these data rapidly to identify anomalous or abnormal periods of water quality that might indicate contamination incidents. CANARY has been used as a research platform for testing and developing new capabilities for event detection system (EDS) algorithms and sensor performance. CANARY Training Tutorials provide practical examples of the full range of CANARY’s capabilities. Some basic functions are used each time the software is used, and others are used mainly in specific situations. Each example is documented with a step-by-step approach using text and screen-capture figures illustrating the changes made to the configuration file parameters and discussing the impact of those changes on the CANARY output.
