What Are Examples Of Larger Patterns In Water Infrastructure?

As parter of my wider research into water AI, I'm looking at what "wider patterns" in water infrastructure trends represent. Why am I doing this? Well I got really hooked onto this one idea. I got really into: what can AI do to deal with larger and critical patterns in water infrastructure - and how can it be used to influence ensuing decisions.

So as part of this I wish to explore - what is a larger pattern in water infrastructure - thank you so much.

Larger Patterns

And larger patterns could include:
  • Trends over certain geographical areas
  • Trends over periods of time
  • And consistent changes

Going into more detail on about these patterns 

I love Geography. I absolutely love Geography. It was one of my first great loves.

Indeed when I was in high school I had a teacher who tutored me privately every day for a week for free for me to help me to pass my final Geography exam as I was struggling with my own teacher who was not neuro-accessible (even though this was long before my neurodiversity diagnoses). It was like something in a movie - like Step Up or something.

So I love that a lot of these trends are geographical. I love geography. Anyway, thank you so, so much.

Long Term Trends in Urban Growth

Water usage can increase over time in urban areas.

This is due to:
  • Population growth and urbanisation
  • Increase in industrial activities in these areas and therefore demanding more water as well!!!

The Effects of Climate Change

Two weather trends can alter water patterns (for example):
  • droughts can increase water demand and reduce water supply
  • increased periods of higher intensity of rainfall can also mess with the water network
    • for example, it can
      • increase stress on pipes
      • reduce water quality
      • force sooner responses to infrastructure issues and therefore disrupt more planned, regular maintenance works
It can also lead to flooding, of course.

Seasonal Variations in Demand

One can predict the increase of water in summer. For example, people are using more water to cool off or to water their plants or irrigate their crops.

By default there must also be periods of time when water usage goes down then - thanks.

Agriculture Water Use Trends

When I hear agriculture I think farming, right? So with farming if there are consistent increases or decreases in water usage then this could be a larger trend. What could these increases or decreases be? Well, they could include changes in crop patterns or changes in irrigation practices.

Regional Groundwater Depletion

The levels of groundwater depletion can be a problem.

This can occur due to unsustainable irrigation practices.

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’...
