Water Monthly Report - Apr 24

Insights

Insights from the Dataset

1. Persistent Water Loss:
• There is a consistent and significant difference between Main BULK (L1) and Sub BULK (L2) water meter readings, indicating potential water loss in common areas.
• The differences range from -1,730 cubic meters in March 2024 to -2,689 cubic meters in November 2023.
2. Increasing Water Discrepancies:
• The total water loss between L1, L2, and L3 is increasing over time, with April 2024 showing the highest cumulative loss of -6,312 cubic meters.
• This trend suggests that existing water loss issues are either worsening or not being effectively managed.
3. High-Loss Zones:
• Zones such as Hotel 02 and Zone 05 consistently show the largest discrepancies between meter readings.
• These areas are critical hotspots for water loss and likely require immediate attention and repairs.
4. Inefficient Irrigation Practices:
• Significant water losses are observed in irrigation zones, particularly Zone 8 Irrigation and Road Irrigation.
• This points to potential inefficiencies in irrigation practices or infrastructure, leading to substantial water wastage.
5. Potential Infrastructure Issues:
• The aging infrastructure could be a contributing factor to the observed water losses, particularly in high-discrepancy zones.
• Regular maintenance and infrastructure upgrades are necessary to address these issues.
6. Impact of Seasonality:
• Seasonal variations may affect water usage and loss patterns, as indicated by fluctuating water consumption figures across different months.
• Understanding these patterns can help in planning and optimizing water usage accordingly.
7. Need for Advanced Monitoring:
• The discrepancies highlight the need for implementing advanced water metering technologies for real-time monitoring and better management of water resources.
• Smart meters can help in quickly identifying and addressing water loss issues.
8. Actionable Steps for Improvement:
• Immediate leak detection surveys and repairs in high-loss zones.
• Optimizing irrigation schedules and techniques to reduce water waste.
• Educating residents and businesses on water conservation practices to promote efficient water use.
9. Financial and Environmental Impact:
• Addressing water loss can lead to significant financial savings and contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing unnecessary water wastage.
10. Strategic Planning and Implementation:
• Establishing a strategic plan with clear timelines for leak detection, infrastructure upgrades, and implementation of advanced metering technologies.

months = ["Nov. 2023", "Dec. 2023", "Jan. 2024", "Feb. 2024", "Mar. 2024", "Apr. 2024"]
main_bulk = [31858, 29063, 30983, 27045, 25678, 30864]
sub_bulk = [29169, 26526, 28613, 25011, 23948, 28643]

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.plot(months, main_bulk, marker='o', label='Main BULK Watermeter')
plt.plot(months, sub_bulk, marker='o', label='Sub BULK Watermeter')
plt.xlabel('Month')
plt.ylabel('Water Usage (M3)')
plt.title('Main BULK vs. Sub BULK Watermeter Readings')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()

This code correctly generates a line chart to compare Main BULK and Sub BULK readings.

Bar Chart: Monthly Differences (L1 - L2)

differences_l1_l2 = [-2689, -2537, -2370, -2034, -1730, -2221]

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.bar(months, differences_l1_l2, color='skyblue')
plt.xlabel('Month')
plt.ylabel('Difference (M3)')
plt.title('Monthly Differences Between Main BULK and Sub BULK Watermeters')
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()

This code correctly generates a bar chart showing the differences between Main BULK and Sub BULK readings.

Stacked Bar Chart: Cumulative Monthly Differences (L2 - L3)

import numpy as np

differences_l2_l3 = [-2000, -1351, -2142, -2578, -3876, -4091]

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
sub_bulk = np.array(sub_bulk)
plt.bar(months, sub_bulk, label='Sub BULK Watermeter', color='skyblue')
plt.bar(months, np.array(differences_l2_l3) + sub_bulk, bottom=sub_bulk, label='Difference (L2 - L3)', color='salmon')
plt.xlabel('Month')
plt.ylabel('Water Usage (M3)')
plt.title('Cumulative Monthly Differences (Sub BULK vs. Individual Meters)')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()

This code needs a correction in stacking the differences. The second bar should represent only the differences, so it needs to be fixed for accurate representation.
