Water utilities & agencies
Continuous visibility for water systems
Water utilities and agencies operate systems where decisions rely on measurements that are often sparse, delayed, or indirect.
Yet many critical phenomena — particulates, fibers, microorganisms, emerging contaminants — evolve at the microscopic level and over time.
Microdeep addresses this gap by enabling continuous, on-site observation, providing persistent visibility where traditional approaches rely on snapshots.
The challenge
Water quality monitoring typically depends on:
• periodic sampling
• laboratory analysis with inherent delays
• indicators that average or infer microscopic reality
This approach can miss:
• transient events
• gradual drifts
• early signals of contamination or system change
As a result, operators often react after thresholds are crossed, rather than understanding how and when conditions evolve.
Why continuous observation changes the picture
Continuous monitoring shifts water quality assessment from episodic control to long-term understanding.
By observing microscopic contents directly and over time, it becomes possible to:
• identify trends before they become incidents
• distinguish anomalies from normal variability
• correlate changes with operational or environmental factors
This does not replace laboratory analysis or regulatory frameworks.
It complements them by adding a temporal dimension that is otherwise inaccessible.
What Microdeep enables
For water utilities and agencies, Microdeep enables:
• On-site observation of microscopic contents of water
• Quantitative metrics and distributions tracked over time
• Early detection of deviations or emerging patterns
• Traceable datasets suitable for reporting and analysis
The platform provides factual inputs that support operational decisions, investigations, and communication with stakeholders.
In addition to microscopic observation, current Microdeep configurations can integrate complementary physico-chemical signals directly on site.
These measurements are not intended to replace laboratory chemistry, but to:
• provide additional context to observed microscopic dynamics
• help interpret changes in particulate or biological content
• support correlation with operational or environmental conditions
By combining continuous observation with selected chemical proxies, Microdeep helps utilities and agencies better understand why changes occur, not only that they occur.
Typical deployment contexts
Microdeep is deployed in contexts such as:
• raw water intakes
• treatment plant inlets or outlets
• distribution network monitoring points
• surface water or catchment observation sites
Deployments are adapted to environmental constraints and monitoring objectives, whether for pilot programs or long-term operation.
Supporting regulatory and operational work
Microdeep is designed to support, not redefine, existing responsibilities.
By making microscopic reality continuously observable, it contributes to:
• improved situational awareness
• better-informed interventions
• documentation of system behavior over time
The platform does not prescribe actions.
It provides the visibility required to ground them in measured reality.
