Description
Two main components:
- Backend service that allows to train models and create water demand predictions. The service is reachable through its own REST API (documented in OpenAPI), as well as through the Orion context broker (FIWARE).
- Frontend service that is used to interact with the backend and visualize forecasts or model training results. This component is optional in case a frontend service already exists at the user’s organization where the product can be integrated.

Actors, their roles and interactions
The tool is meant to be used by water utilities. Depending on their expertise, they might need help from external IT experts to integrate the tool into their system before it can be applied.
Unique selling points
Water demand forecasts based on region-specific ML models can be used even for customers for whom no training data is available. ML based forecasts can be created for not only residential but also industrial and agricultural customers.
Technical requirements
Software engineering expertise to integrate the components (FIWARE components + backend + frontend) into the network and system of the water utility. All components are provided in form of docker containers. Additional expertise is required to install smart meter devices and connect them to the system such that the pre-processed smart meter data is accessible to the tool. The tool comes in form of docker containers and is thus independent of the specific OS.
