Water Demand Prediction Using Machine Learning

bstract: Water is of paramount importance for the existence of life on Earth. The causes of water depletion are both natural and anthropogenic. On Earth, the amount of freshwater has remained persistent over span but the population has mushroomed. Therefore, striving for freshwater intensifies day by day. Proper management and forecasting are required for better and effective water usage plans. Water demand and population forecasting are the major parameters for an Urban Water Management. Machine learning is among the best-known techniques for such forecasting. Machine learning is a data analytics technique that provides machines the potential to learn without being comprehensively programmed. Unlike the traditional methods of demand forecasting that were not suitable for historical unstructured and semi structured data, machine learning takes into account or has the capabilities for analyzing such data.
