What are "Other Broad Factors" that could be considered in water decision making?

AI can be used to help solve "larger and critical problems" in water infrastructure.

In my last two water blog posts, I examined and explored what larger and critical problems are.

I looked at what these two could mean.

I will revise both of these too in subsequent blog posts.

However just for today, I would like to talk about; well, basically; I am doing a long form piece on how AI can help in solving larger and critical problems in water infrastructure.

And in order to do that, AI needs to know about a few things

• seasonality - one or two blog posts coming
• weather - one or two blog posts coming

But there are also a lot of other things that water needs to know about. In a nutshell, here they are:

• Population and Demographics
• Days of the Week
• Holidays
• Environmental Change 
• Climate Change
• Water pricing and policies
• Infrastructure and supply factors (such as leakage)
• Unusual events (Such as Covid)
• Industrial Demand
• Economic downturn or trends

In the next post I may need to go into a bit more detail. Actually each one merits its own blog post. Well why not? I suppose all of them might be a bit too much to each have a blog post. But there are so many things I want to discuss here.
