Abstract(s)

Water scarcity is a global concern due to population growth, climate change, and industrialization. Accurate water consumption simulation and forecasting are essential for understanding consumption patterns and predicting future demand. The control and visualization of how different aspects such as precipitation, season, and population affect water consumption can be a way for public agencies to plan actions that minimize waste and assist in the correct use of water. Technology, and especially Machine Learning and Digital Twin, can be used as tools for this. In light of this, this project aims to develop a system for simulating and forecasting water consumption in the Bragan¸ca region using a Digital Twin. In order to accomplish this, a comprehensive analysis is conducted to determine the necessary requirements for designing the system. This analysis encompasses the evaluation of hardware, software, data, machine learning models, web interface, as well as security and performance requirements. Furthermore, the architecture of this system and how it will be configured is analyzed, proposing a system with Training Data Sources, Training Process, Updated Data Sources, Digital Twin, Web Interface and Monitoring System. The system described in this article is under development and it is hoped to achieve as a result the full design of the Digital Twin and User Interface systems.
