This online competition challenges data scientists and data analysts to show how real time data can be used to support better water management services through the data generated by digital meters and providing feedback to consumers and water utilities. Evidence through data is critical to address the many challenges that the water sector is facing. Recent advances in machine learning (ML) and data analytics (DA) technologies have provided the opportunity for more efficient use of the vast amount of data generated by sensors, meters and other devices.

The aim is to improve the management of water data, detecting anomalies in water quality, sensors out of range to evaluate their impact and possible actions by implementing ML/AI algorithms. It is necessary to know how to detect false positives, and other anomalies in the interpretation of the data (processing with ML/AI to be able to differentiate a non-significant anomaly from those that require action).

Challenges Categories

The information about the different Challenges can be obtainen in the following web content Fiware4Water Challenges.

• Real-time control of the behaviour of the sewer system.
• Explore real-time quality of water sensor data.
• Calculate water network events (e.g. bursts pipe or leakage) in the customer water consumption.

Practical:

• Remember to register via Application form.
• Talk, discuss and brainstorm with us on Fiware4Water Challenge Slack Channel.

• The evaluation criteria depends on each challenge
  This criterion will be modified in the future.
• Each category has a special judge corresponding to the datasets owner
  In the composition of the Jury, each category will include a judge to evaluate the solution provided
• Independent expert on water domain
  To maintain the odd number of judges, an expert in the water sector will be made public by Friday, 2 July 2021
• Off-line evaluation (70%)
  Each challenge has a set of rules and metrics (see the Guide of Applicants). The best machine learning model delivered will receive the 100% score, while others will have a scoring relative to the performance in comparison with the best model.
• On-line evaluation (30%)
  A pitch about your solution and a demo in front of the Fiware4Water Challenge’s Jury. This will be assessed on the selection Day (Thursday, 15 July 2021). Only those higher scoring projects will pass to the selection day.
