Book excerpt: This study shows that advanced artificial neural network (ANN) model-based control systems can be used for drinking water treatment process control. ANN technology, an artificial intelligence technology that has the ability to learn patterns and relationships contained in sets of data, is the most powerful modeling tool currently available to the drinking water treatment industry. ANN predicts the output of a process given the values of process inputs and process control variables. The results of this project have the potential to revolutionize the way in which drinking water utilities optimize and control their unit processes to efficiently and consistently supply high quality drinking water
