New techniques enable a shift in monitoring chemicals that affect water quality from mainly at the end product, tap water, towards monitoring during the whole process along the production chain. This is congruent with the 'HACCP' system (hazard analysis of critical control points) that is fairly well integrated into food production but less well in drinking water production. This shift brings about more information about source quality, the efficiency of treatment and distribution, and understanding of processes within the production chain, and therefore can lead to a more pro-active management of drinking water production. At present, monitoring is focused neither on emerging chemicals, nor on detection of compounds with chronic toxicity. We discuss techniques to be used, detection limits compared to quality criteria, data interpretation and possible interventions in production.
新技术使得对影响水质的化学物质的监测，从主要在最终产品（自来水）处，转向沿生产链的全过程监测。这与“危害分析与关键控制点”（HACCP）系统相一致，该系统在食品生产中整合得相当好，但在饮用水生产中整合得较差。这种转变带来了更多关于水源质量、处理和分配效率以及对生产链内各流程的了解的信息，因此可以导致对饮用水生产进行更积极主动的管理。目前，监测既未聚焦于新兴化学物质，也未聚焦于具有慢性毒性的化合物的检测。我们讨论了要使用的技术、与质量标准相比的检测限、数据解读以及生产中的可能干预措施。
