Just another idea for the project, but scale of it might be too small

In my other class, Environmental Science, we currently cover water usage, waste, and treatment. One of my classmates, Amanda Kennedy, had mentioned in her discussion the following:

"I think that a monitoring system should be designed which is both accurate at testing for and removing contaminants, while remaining cost-effective for consumers. This idea is most likely improbable, but not entirely impossible. Unfortunately, until that monitoring system is created, I believe if further purification is desired for the water we drink, it should be handled at the level of personal intake."

I really liked the idea of implementing something that is not there as of know yet.

So general idea would be of having a testing system that performs the testing of incoming water, evaluates results, determines what chemicals and what amount would be added to treat the water, and performing the treatment. The challenge would be in the possible delay of the system between testing and treatment operations, and keeping the flow of the water the same at all times.
