In the article, a new method of continuous monitoring of the biological quality of raw and treated waters at the Želivka Water Treatment Plant is suggested and assessed. This water treatment plant is one of the largest water treatment plants in Europe and the largest water treatment plant in the Czech Republic with a maximum projected peak output of 7 m.s and current output of around 3 m.s of drinking water. It is the largest water treatment plant for Prague which is the capital city of the Czech Republic. Additionally, this water treatment plant also supplies drinking water to the Central Bohemia and Vysočina regions. The main intention of the research was to suggest a new system of monitoring, which can guarantee a more reliable continuous control of the safe drinking water supply for the city of Prague and the surrounding area. The suggested method represents a completely new approach to monitoring the biological quality of drinking water in the Czech Republic using the DaphTox apparatus, only two of which exist in the Czech Republic. The article describes the experience and knowledge gained during the operation of such a monitoring system, including a description of the necessary measures to ensure its proper operation with a focus on the pre-treatment of raw and chlorinated waters. Recommended simple pre-treatment methods secure optimal living conditions for monitoring organisms and have no impact on the original biological quality of monitored water which is a necessary condition for proper monitoring of biological quality.
本文提出并评估了一种在Želivka 水净化厂连续监测原水和处理水生物质量的新方法。该水净化厂是欧洲最大的水净化厂之一,也是捷克共和国最大的水净化厂,设计最大峰值产量为 7 立方米/秒,目前饮用水产量约为 3 立方米/秒。它是捷克共和国首都布拉格最大的供水水净化厂。此外,该水净化厂还向中波希米亚地区和维索基纳地区供应饮用水。该研究的主要目的是提出一种新的监测系统,以保证为布拉格市及周边地区提供更可靠的安全饮用水供应的持续控制。所建议的方法代表了一种使用 DaphTox 仪器监测捷克共和国饮用水生物质量的全新方法,而这种仪器在捷克共和国仅有两台。本文描述了在运行这种监测系统期间获得的经验和知识,包括为确保其正常运行而采取的必要措施的描述,重点是对原水和氯化水进行预处理。推荐的简单预处理方法可为监测生物提供最佳的生存条件,且不会影响监测水的原始生物质量,这是对生物质量进行适当监测的必要条件。
