The present invention provides systems and methods that identify a flow anomaly to an operator or other person by: executing a first device of a plurality of water using devices; receiving flow data on a quantity of water used by the first device during a time period required to generate a first water use signature from the first device; comparing a future water use pattern against the first water use signature to identify a flow anomaly with the first device; and providing information regarding the flow anomaly to the person. Identifying anomalies can be useful in numerous ways, including discovering problems that need fixing, reducing waste, and even calculating appropriate irrigation application rates.
A method for identifying a flow anomaly in a system having a single flow meter and a plurality of water using devices, comprising:
A system having an electronic processor that operates code that compares a future water use pattern against a first water use signature and a second water use signature to correlate the future water use pattern with a water use device.
A method for identifying a flow anomaly in a system having a single flow meter and a plurality of water using devices, comprising:
