What Are Critical Patterns In Water?

So sometimes in water usage we may see more critical or larger changes in overall consumption.

I love this - this fascinates me. This is such a large part of what I am fascinated about in water tech. I like large scale things.

Critical Patterns

So what are these larger or more critical patterns in water consumption? Well, critical patterns could include (for larger patterns, please see the next blog post):

  • Stress on the water system
  • Potential emergencies

More specific examples of critical patterns

Some more specific examples of critical water patterns could be
  • A sudden drop in reservoir levels
    • WOW! This is so FASCINATING! I love love love reservoirs - WOW!
    • WOW!
    • If a reservoir level declines rapidly, it may indicate unexpected water loss or extreme drought conditions
  • An unexpected spike in consumption
    • A sudden increase in consumption in a specific area
    • Could indicate one of the following
      • Major event
      • Leak 
      • Unauthorised usage...
  • A sudden drop in pressure...
    • This could suggest:
    • A pipe burst, or
    • A system failure
  • Urgent Quality Alerts!
    • Detection of contaminants
    • Sudden changes in water quality 
      • This could indicate a required emergency response
  • Rapid industrial shifts
    • A sudden surge or drop of usage of water in industrial zones
    • This may point to operational disruptions or process changes

In my next blog I will analyse what a larger pattern in water infrastructure is (as opposed to a critical one). I will then soon talk about how AI can be used to respond to larger and critical water patterns.

In doing so I will dive deeper into my favourite topics: seasonality and weather in water infrastructure.

I don't know yet which I will do first, or if I will do them all together, but I will certainly explore types of data that can respond to larger and critical patterns better, and then talk about the analysis that can be done by AI - and then talk about some of the decisions that can be made as a result of this.

Thank you

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as ...

Where To Hide A Star

Where To Hide A Star I haven’t read this book but I just saw this title of a forthcoming children’s book on the train and so I wanted to write a blog post based off of this as well. The last six months have been… rewarding and fulfilling. I have managed to make all of my dreams come true and to defy expectations,  Sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight and if you reread all of my blogs over the last six months (all 200 of them) you would know exactly what I’m struggling at work and what was going on. And why. But I’ve managed to overcome most of my challenges. Neurodiversity. Being very new in the field relative to the expectations of the job. Being in a new workplace environment. All stuff which I can handle and I am doing just fine. Because I am amazing and fabulous and I can do anything. I am loving the job. I am thriving. I am loving just getting on with it. I love my work. I am having massive breakthroughs. On Thursday I had what felt like the biggest breakthrough ...

In the Water, I find Fire

In the Water, I find Fire Who am I without renewable energy? I had to ask myself this question last year when my company laid off half its employees.  I didn’t know who I was anymore. Not without renewable energy. But I did everything I could to stay in it. The time in between jobs allowed me to experiment. Travel around the UK a bit. Reconnect with old hobbies. Rediscover my femininity a bit - be someone who wasn’t always working. But I fought to stay in renewable energy. A part of myself has been telling myself that I am in renewable energy still and that’s great because I am. But I am mostly in water. And that was hard for me to accept that. Because I love renewable energy so so much. And I couldn’t imagine my life without it. But now I can. Not because I don’t love it But because I need to give myself to something more too and that is water Because in the water I find my passion In the water, I find my fire In the water, I find my self again In the water, I find my Self So let’...
