Abstract

This resource contains high resolution residential water use data and classified end uses of water for 31 residential homes located in Logan City and Providence City in Cache County, Utah, USA. Data were collected using a low-cost, open source monitoring device that was designed to operate on magnetically driven residential water meters (see https://doi.org/10.3390/s20133655). Data were recorded with a temporal frequency of 4 seconds and were collected for a period of at least two weeks during the summer when outdoor water use was active and two weeks during the winter when no outdoor water use was expected. The event disaggregation and classification was conducted using the tools available in the HydroShare resource at https://doi.org/10.4211/hs.3143b3b1bdff48e0aaebcb4aedf02feb. The data were measured on the meter located on the water supply line to each home and represent a trace of the total water use for each residence. The dataset also includes secondary data about each of the residences at which data were collected. These data have been anonymized to remove any personally identifiable information from participants in this data collection effort.

  • 2_LogFiles contains a log for each site (in CSV format) with the following columns:

    1. DataCollectionPeriod: An identifier for each data collection period from 1 to n.
    2. StartDate: The start date of each data collection period. Format: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'
    3. EndDate: The end date of each data collection period. Format: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'
    4. Meter_WaterUse: Volume of water used in each data collection period, obtained from reading the actual meter installed at each site. Unit: Gallons.
    5. CIWS-DL_WaterUse: Volume of water used in each data collection period, measured by the CIWS-Datalogger installed at each site. Unit: Gallons.
    6. PercentError_Vol: Percent error, in volume, of the CIWS-Datalogger measurement. PercentError_Vol = (column 5 - column 4)*100 / column 4. Unit: %.
    7. N_ExpectedValues: Number of recorded values expected in each data collection period, calculated as (column 3 - column 2)/4 seconds Unit: count
    8. N_ActualValues: Number of actual values recorded by the CIWS-Datalogger in each data collection period. Unit: count.
