Our research group is developing cyberinfrastructure to better support the collection, management, and use of smart water metering data. This Challenge provides students at Utah State University with an opportunity to develop potentially novel and innovative visualizations of high-resolution residential water use data. For this year's challenge, we aim to develop new approaches for providing visual feedback directly to residential water users about their own water use.

Given high temporal resolution water use data from the water meter for a residential home (see the section below about the dataset), we want you to develop visualizations that would be useful in communicating the timing, volume, and distribution of water use within the home. What useful information could be extracted from the data and presented to the homeowner that might influence their water use behavior?

Visualizations developed for this challenge should be focused on creating visual information that would be useful for residential water users to inform them about their own water consumption. Given this, the objective is to create visualizations that are easily understandable and may provide actionable information (e.g., the homeowner can see their water use visually and may change their behavior based on the information you provide).
