CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS The present application is a nonprovisional of and claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Ser. No. 63/718,501 , entitled DEPLOYABLE RESILIENT INSTALLATION WATER PURIFICATION AND TREATMENT SYSTEM, which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT INTEREST Under paragraph 1(a) of Executive Order 10096, the conditions under which this invention was made entitle the Government of the United States, as represented by the Secretary of the Army, to an undivided interest therein on any patent granted thereon by the United States. This and related patents are available for licensing to qualified licensees. BACKGROUND Field of the Invention The present invention relates to water purification and treatment and, more specifically, to a compact, deployable water purification and treatment system that is operable under multiple optional power resources. Description of the Related Art This section introduces aspects that may help facilitate a better understanding of the invention. Accordingly, the statements of this section are to be read in this light and are not to be understood as admissions about what is prior art or what is not prior art. Traditional methods of providing deployable water purification and treatment include technologies such as the Tactical Water Purification System (TWPS), the Lightweight Water Purifier (LWP), and the Lightweight Water Purification System (LWPS). SUMMARY Embodiments of the invention provide a deployable resilient installation water purification and treatment system that is compact, ruggedized, and operable with multiple power sources. The system provides novel improvements and modifications to utilizing a high concentration bleach generator apparatus, system and method and/or a water quality analysis system and method, in the water purification and treatment system. The present invention was developed to address the desire for a compact system that incorporates sensor manifolds such as the WaterDOG (Water Diagnostics Operations Gear) water diagnostics manifold or similar separation (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 10,288,595) and incorporates an electro-chlorinator such as the high concentration bleach generator system (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 10,077,197). Embodiments of the invention provide the ability to operate the compact and ruggedized water purification and treatment system under multiple optional power sources (AC sources and DC sources). According to an aspect the present invention, a deployable water treatment system is configured to be placed on a mobile trailer for treating water. The system comprises: a UV-C (Ultraviolet-C) disinfection system to apply ultraviolet (UV) light to the water; an electro-chlorination apparatus using electricity to convert the water into a sodium hypochlorite solution; particulate filtration modules for particulate filtration of the water; a granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration device to filter the water; and a water quality analysis system. The water quality analysis system includes a water sensor flow cell having sensors to measure water quality parameters of the water to produce data, a data processor to digitize the data for the water quality parameters, and a transmitter to transmit the data from the data processor to a flow controller to be used to control a flow of the water to recirculate the water though the deployable water treatment system or not. In accordance with another aspect, a deployable water treatment system for treating water comprises: a trailer bed; a water treatment system and a water quality analysis system disposed in the trailer bed. The water treatment system includes a UV-C disinfection system to apply ultraviolet (UV) light to the water; an electro-chlorination apparatus using electricity to convert the water into a sodium hypochlorite solution; particulate filtration modules for particulate filtration of the water; and a granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration device to filter the water. The water quality analysis system includes a water sensor flow cell having sensors to measure water quality parameters of the water to produce data, a data processor to digitize the data for the water quality parameters, and a transmitter to transmit the data from the data processor to a flow controller to be used to control a flow of the water to recirculate the water though the deployable water treatment system or not. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a method comprises: placing a water treatment system and a water quality analysis system in a trailer bed; directing a flow of the water into the water treatment system, which inc
