Claim 0:
1. A cuvette-based system for treating and characterizing water, the system comprising:
a cuvette configured for holding water therein;
at least one ultrasonic transducer for the water in the cuvette by introducing ultrasonic waves into the water in the cuvette;
at least one light source configured and located such as to irradiate said water in the cuvette; and
a spectrometry device for measuring spectral characteristics of output light outputted from the cuvette prior to and after the treating of the water; and
a processing unit, configured to receive data from the spectrometry device indicative of spectral characteristics of the output light before and after the ultrasonic treatment of the water in the cuvette and determine, based on the received data, value of at least one parameter indicative of the effect to the water in the cuvette caused by the treatment by the ultrasonic signals,

wherein the value of the at least one parameter of the water is determined by:
(a) measuring the spectral characteristics of the output light prior to treating the water with the ultrasonic waves;
(b) treating the water with the ultrasonic waves;
(c) re-measuring the spectral characteristics of the output light;
(d) determining the differences between corresponding spectral characteristics of the output light measured before and after the ultrasonic treatment; and
(d) determining the value of the at least one parameter of the water based on the differences in said spectral characteristics of the output light.
