Abstract
Fresh water is scarce. From California to Southern England, from the Danube river to Taiwan, human activities stress hydrological systems. Water scarcity is a known cause of droughts, which can ultimately lead to the total depletion of the ground water and the drying of rivers and wetlands. Residential water demand represents up to 23% of the total nationwide water abstraction and it is closely correlated to human activities and behavior. Therefore, understanding water-related behaviors in daily life settings would help designing sustainable and compelling policies and
practices. In this context, disaggregation algorithms are developed to break down the total consumption of homes into the consumption at the point of use. This approach is scalable because it leverages the existing infrastructure, i.e. water and electricity meters. This seminar presents the algorithmic approaches to
electricity and water disaggregation, the methodological pitfalls, and the tools for study participants to self-report their activities.
