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.
Claims17
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;
- receive secondary data from a plurality of secondary data sources, including context monitoring data of consumer activities;
- generate a water risk score vector from the received water point data and the received secondary data;
- 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;
- receiving, by the computer system, secondary data which includes past and future consumer activities from a secondary data source;
- storing, by the computer system, the received water point data and the received secondary data in a water point data hub;
- 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 (IoT) 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;
- receiving, by the computer system, secondary data from a secondary data source, the secondary data including past and future specific consumer activities, water usages and needs;
- identifying a water risk from the received water point data and the received secondary data;
- generating a customized water risk signal configured to initiate a water risk mitigation step in response to the water risk exceeding a threshold risk;
- and
- controlling a cyber-physical system in an Internet of Things (IoT) setting of the computer system as the water risk mitigation step.
