2006年，美国环境保护局（USEPA）与辛辛那提市签订了一项合作协议，以部署第一个WaterSentinel系统（WS） 污染预警系统飞行员。部署 污染预警系统采用了一种系统化的方法，提出了改进措施 计划、设计、实施、测试、维护并最终完善。在部署的每个阶段，有必要考虑污染预警系统将如何进行。 按常规操作。此外，部署阶段的进展将塑造未来 系统运行的方式。这个迭代循环导致了一个概念的发展 污染报警系统的操作，该系统反过来通知设计、实施和维护 系统的运行。操作概念定义了饮用水污染的常规操作过程 警报系统。运营理念确定了具体的角色和职责、流程和流程 信息流、时间表和检查表，以支持系统性审查触发因素，以确定 污染是可能的。如果通过以下任何方式确定“可能”的污染事件: 监控和监视组件，在操作概念中概述的流程 向后果管理活动的过渡，包括确定 事件（美国环保局，2007a）。本文将作战概念的目标和内容描述为: 以及它的发展框架。 包括4个参考文献、表格、图表。

In 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered a cooperative agreement with the City of Cincinnati to deploy the first WaterSentinel System (WS) contamination warning system pilot. Deployment of the contamination warning system followed a systematic approach in which proposed enhancements were planned, designed, implemented, tested, maintained, and ultimately refined. At each stage of deployment it is necessary to consider how the contamination warning system will be operated on a routine basis. Furthermore, progression through the stages of deployment will shape the manner in which the system is operated. This iterative cycle leads to the development of a concept of operations for a contamination warning system that in turn informs the design, implementation, and operation of the system. A concept of operations defines a process for routine operation of a drinking water contamination warning system. The concept of operations establishes specific roles and responsibilities, process and information flows, timelines, and checklists to support the systematic review of triggers to determine if contamination is possible. If a "possible" contamination incident is identified through any of the monitoring and surveillance components, the process outlined in the concept of operations seamlessly transitions to consequence management activities including a determination regarding the credibility of the incident (USEPA, 2007a). This paper describes the objectives and content of a concept of operations as well as a framework for its development. Includes 4 references, table, figures.
