    Abstract: The present invention is a method for determining the risk index for growth of Legionella in the water systems of a building, said risk index being expressed as a numerical value, comprising the following steps: I) measurement of at least two values corresponding to variables selected from the group comprising physical, physicochemical and biological features, of said water system, each of said values corresponding to a risk value; and II) calculation of the overall risk index via automated means from the risk values by weighted composition; characterized in that: the method comprises measuring bioactivity in the water system by means of at least one biosensor installed in said water system, determining via automated means the difference between an expected bioactivity value and the one actually measured, and in that, in calculating the risk index in step II, said difference is used as one of said measured risk values from step I to determine the risk index.
