Slide 3: People + Pipes + Policy
Big Data’s impact on dysfunction in drinking water distribution “People + Pipes + Policy” February 2013 © Global Water Technologies www.gwtr.com “People + Pipes + Policy”
Slide 4: Total disconnect in value
= $0.01 Three gallons of tap water for one penny = $1.00 One 16 oz bottle for one dollar Total disconnect in value
Slide 5: Confusing water billing
Drinking water consumption Household of four people 100 gallons per person daily 12,000 gallons per month Billed in hundreds of cubic feet 12,000 ÷ 100 ÷ 7.48 = 16 Limited and estimated readings of water meters Wide price range across U.S. $20 per month $140 per month Confusing water billing
Slide 6: Broken distribution system
Water loss is unsustainable 18% of drinking water is lost before it reaches customers 850 water main breaks per day Undetected leaks underground Damage to collapsed roadways Disruptions to homes & business Public health issues Water main break closes Indianapolis Art Museum entrance Public safety is
Slide 7: Questionable policy
Need for better water policy Emergency water bans • punish types of use • ignore total use • hurt small businesses • save new trees, lose mature Conservation disconnect • mandates vs. incentives • no meaningful metrics • suggest “pick up ice cubes” Funding problems • little comprehensive planning •
