Abstract
In recent years a wide variety of early warning systems for the continuous on-line detection of events relating to water security and quality have become available. Numerous methodologies and criteria have been suggested to determine the efficacy of these methods in real world scenarios. The following criteria along with a new method for determining receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC Curves) are suggested as a good way to compare various technologies.
