Abstract
The disclosure provides a system and method for collection of water point data from a distribution of water points to generate a digital aquifer. The disclosure includes a system to generate and collect water point data through devices supported by frugal innovations that address resource constraints. Use of the systems and methods as described enable water point users to better plan and manage limited water resources.
Claims20
A computer system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory configured to store program instructions executable by the processor to cause the computer system to:
- receive water point data from a water point sensor about a water point remotely located with respect to the computer system, and store the received water point data in a water point data hub;
- receive secondary data from a secondary data source and store the received secondary data in the water point data hub;
- correlate the secondary data with the water point data;
- generate a water risk score vector from the water point data hub;
- generate a notification based on the water risk score vector;
- and
- initiate a water risk mitigation by controlling a cyber-physical system in an Internet of Things (IoT) setting of the computer system when the water risk score vector exceeds a predetermined threshold score.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer system via a network, water point data from a water point sensor about a water point remotely located with respect to the computer system, and storing the received water point data in a water point data hub;
- receiving, by the computer system, secondary data from a secondary data source and storing the received secondary data in the water point data hub;
- correlating, by the computer system, the secondary data with the water point data;
- generating, by the computer system, a water risk score vector from the water point data hub;
- generating, by the computer system, a notification based on the water risk score vector;
- and
- generating, by the computer system, a water risk mitigation step to mitigate a water risk by controlling a cyber-physical system in an Internet of Things (loT) setting of the computer system.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer system via a network, water point data from a water point sensor about a water point remotely located with respect to the computer system, and storing the received water point data in a water point data hub;
- receiving, by the computer system, secondary data from a secondary data source and storing the received secondary data in the water point data hub;
- correlating, by the computer system, the secondary data with the water point data;
- identifying, by the computer system, a water risk from the water point data hub, the water risk exceeding a threshold risk, and generating, by the computer system, a customized water risk signal configured to initiate a water risk mitigation step;
- and
- controlling, by the computer system, a cyber-physical system in an Internet of Things (loT) setting of the computer system as the water risk mitigation step.
