Solving the Water Crisis with Artificial Intelligence | Prateek Joshi | TEDxHarkerSchool


water is going to be scarce with an oil

water is going to be scarce with an oil in 2030 and demand is going to exceed

in 2030 and demand is going to exceed

in 2030 and demand is going to exceed supply by 40% now if you look at water

supply by 40% now if you look at water

supply by 40% now if you look at water as a system right there are many many

as a system right there are many many

as a system right there are many many moving parts in play here right you need

moving parts in play here right you need

moving parts in play here right you need to acquire water you need to treat it

to acquire water you need to treat it

to acquire water you need to treat it store it transport it distribute it and

store it transport it distribute it and

store it transport it distribute it and then continue must look like us I’ll end

then continue must look like us I’ll end

then continue must look like us I’ll end up using it now this this whole system

up using it now this this whole system

up using it now this this whole system is riddled with inefficiencies it’s and

is riddled with inefficiencies it’s and

is riddled with inefficiencies it’s and and as a demand for water increases we

and as a demand for water increases we

and as a demand for water increases we tend to put more stress on each of these

tend to put more stress on each of these

tend to put more stress on each of these individual walks now let’s dig a little

individual walks now let’s dig a little

individual walks now let’s dig a little deeper shall we around 71% of earth is

deeper shall we around 71% of earth is

deeper shall we around 71% of earth is water right that’s a lot of water but

water right that’s a lot of water but

water right that’s a lot of water but but 96 and a half percent of that as

but 96 and a half percent of that as

but 96 and a half percent of that as oceans so that’s not usable that’s not

oceans so that’s not usable that’s not

oceans so that’s not usable that’s not for human use so all of the remaining

for human use so all of the remaining

for human use so all of the remaining three and a half percent seventy percent

three and a half percent seventy percent

three and a half percent seventy percent is glaciers and ice so if you if you

is glaciers and ice so if you if you

is glaciers and ice so if you if you keep going down this funnel right you’ll

keep going down this funnel right you’ll

keep going down this funnel right you’ll realize that only less than 1% it’s

realize that only less than 1% it’s

realize that only less than 1% it’s available for human use and even within

available for human use and even within

available for human use and even within that 70% is for agriculture 22% is used

that 70% is for agriculture 22% is used

that 70% is for agriculture 22% is used by industrial supply systems so in the

by industrial supply systems so in the

by industrial supply systems so in the end a teeny tiny 0.08 percent of all

end a teeny tiny 0.08 percent of all

end a teeny tiny 0.08 percent of all available water is for us the consumers

available water is for us the consumers

available water is for us the consumers like you and I can can consume right

like you and I can can consume right

like you and I can can consume right that’s a very tiny fraction and and

that’s a very tiny fraction and and

that’s a very tiny fraction and and that’s why the cost of water is rapidly

that’s why the cost of water is rapidly

that’s why the cost of water is rapidly increasing now if you look at silikal

increasing now if you look at silikal

increasing now if you look at silikal report published over the last three

report published over the last three

report published over the last three decades if you look at the consumer

decades if you look at the consumer

decades if you look at the consumer price trends and how how the costs are

price trends and how how the costs are

price trends and how how the costs are varied for like water natural gas

varied for like water natural gas

varied for like water natural gas electricity you’ll see that the cost of

electricity you’ll see that the cost of

electricity you’ll see that the cost of water has risen by four hundred percent

water has risen by four hundred percent

water has risen by four hundred percent right and that’s that’s more than

right and that’s that’s more than

right and that’s that’s more than electricity and natural gas combined and

electricity and natural gas combined and

electricity and natural gas combined and that’s what and it’s it will continue to

that’s what and it’s it will continue to

that’s what and it’s it will continue to get worse right

get worse right

get worse right and so the scarcity factor is gonna just

and so the scarcity factor is gonna just

and so the scarcity factor is gonna just continue to let worse here over here now

continue to let worse here over here now

continue to let worse here over here now let’s see like how did we get here right

let’s see like how did we get here right

let’s see like how did we get here right it’s one of the main reasons is that our

it’s one of the main reasons is that our

it’s one of the main reasons is that our system is filled with inefficiencies

system is filled with inefficiencies

system is filled with inefficiencies like leakage and we waste water and the

like leakage and we waste water and the

like leakage and we waste water and the pipes that are aging pipes and there are

pipes that are aging pipes and there are

pipes that are aging pipes and there are many more reasons right

many more reasons right

many more reasons right all these things have contributed

all these things have contributed

all these things have contributed and now we are in this situation where

and now we are in this situation where

and now we are in this situation where the cost of war is rapidly increasing

the cost of war is rapidly increasing

the cost of war is rapidly increasing and there’s no drinking water available

and there’s no drinking water available

and there’s no drinking water available for everyone on earth and if you talk

for everyone on earth and if you talk

for everyone on earth and if you talk about leakage around two point one

about leakage around two point one

about leakage around two point one trillion gallons of clean treated water

trillion gallons of clean treated water

trillion gallons of clean treated water it’s just lost every year in the u.s.

it’s just lost every year in the u.s.

it’s just lost every year in the u.s. right it’s due to leaks faulty meters

right it’s due to leaks faulty meters

right it’s due to leaks faulty meters broken water mains and this can actually

broken water mains and this can actually

broken water mains and this can actually feed tens of millions of people for an

feed tens of millions of people for an

feed tens of millions of people for an entire year right that’s that’s a lot of

entire year right that’s that’s a lot of

entire year right that’s that’s a lot of water to waste and this fact is this

water to waste and this fact is this

water to waste and this fact is this activated by the fact that the average

activated by the fact that the average

activated by the fact that the average age of pipes when the u.s. in the US and

age of pipes when the u.s. in the US and

age of pipes when the u.s. in the US and Canada is around 47 years which means

Canada is around 47 years which means

Canada is around 47 years which means there are some pipes that are like

there are some pipes that are like

there are some pipes that are like hundred years old at just a couple of

hundred years old at just a couple of

hundred years old at just a couple of weeks ago up in Berkeley there was a

weeks ago up in Berkeley there was a

weeks ago up in Berkeley there was a broken water main like just thousands of

broken water main like just thousands of

broken water main like just thousands of gallons just too wasted and water supply

gallons just too wasted and water supply

let’s like a hundred miles away from where you live right and you want to

where you live right and you want to

where you live right and you want to measure how much water is flowing

measure how much water is flowing

measure how much water is flowing through it and so what you do is you

through it and so what you do is you

through it and so what you do is you install a nice meter and then it’s going

install a nice meter and then it’s going

install a nice meter and then it’s going to measure the water now the problem is

to measure the water now the problem is

to measure the water now the problem is for you to know what’s happening that

for you to know what’s happening that

for you to know what’s happening that five you need to send a guy who will go

five you need to send a guy who will go

five you need to send a guy who will go there and look at the readings all right

there and look at the readings all right

there and look at the readings all right now imagine they’re like every guy’s

now imagine they’re like every guy’s

now imagine they’re like every guy’s responsible for like hundreds and

responsible for like hundreds and

responsible for like hundreds and hundreds of these like thousands of

hundreds of these like thousands of

hundreds of these like thousands of these meters right so obviously you

these meters right so obviously you

these meters right so obviously you cannot hope to send a guy every single

cannot hope to send a guy every single

cannot hope to send a guy every single hour which is not gonna happen so and

hour which is not gonna happen so and

hour which is not gonna happen so and that’s why they take these readings once

that’s why they take these readings once

that’s why they take these readings once every two months so what’s gonna happen

every two months so what’s gonna happen

every two months so what’s gonna happen between the two successive readings

between the two successive readings

between the two successive readings right anything all the data is just

let us talk a little bit about

let us talk a little bit about artificial intelligence artificial

artificial intelligence artificial

artificial intelligence artificial intelligence is the field of study that

intelligence is the field of study that

research in this field is it’s based on

research in this field is it’s based on emulating the learning process for human

emulating the learning process for human

emulating the learning process for human brain human brain is amazing it’s like

brain human brain is amazing it’s like

brain human brain is amazing it’s like the best form of AI artificial

the best form of AI artificial

the best form of AI artificial intelligence because it can it can learn

need to try and you know a chairs a

need to try and you know a chairs a chair right it’s not so easy for

chair right it’s not so easy for

chair right it’s not so easy for machines to do it because machines just

machines to do it because machines just

machines to do it because machines just need a lot of data to understand even

need a lot of data to understand even

need a lot of data to understand even simplest things and so artificial

simplest things and so artificial

simplest things and so artificial intelligence and there’s a paradigm

intelligence and there’s a paradigm

intelligence and there’s a paradigm within artificial intelligence called

within artificial intelligence called

within artificial intelligence called deep learning that especially focuses on

deep learning that especially focuses on

deep learning that especially focuses on on this that they create models based on

on this that they create models based on

on this that they create models based on human brain so that we can emulate the

human brain so that we can emulate the

human brain so that we can emulate the learning process and be really efficient

learning process and be really efficient

learning process and be really efficient with it right and so basically you

with it right and so basically you

with it right and so basically you measure learn and you infer right that’s

measure learn and you infer right that’s

measure learn and you infer right that’s if you keep this loop in any system you

if you keep this loop in any system you

if you keep this loop in any system you can be very very efficient all right

can be very very efficient all right

can be very very efficient all right let’s take an example now let’s say you

let’s take an example now let’s say you

let’s take an example now let’s say you want to monitor water usage by utilizing

want to monitor water usage by utilizing

want to monitor water usage by utilizing flow flow sensors and residential

flow flow sensors and residential

flow flow sensors and residential buildings now these flow sensors are

buildings now these flow sensors are

buildings now these flow sensors are retrofit which means that you can just

retrofit which means that you can just

retrofit which means that you can just they just put it on top of a pipe and it

they just put it on top of a pipe and it

they just put it on top of a pipe and it start measuring the water flow and it’ll

start measuring the water flow and it’ll

start measuring the water flow and it’ll start streaming the data to the cloud

start streaming the data to the cloud

start streaming the data to the cloud now in this case by by efficiently

now in this case by by efficiently

now in this case by by efficiently measuring the flow of water right you

measuring the flow of water right you

measuring the flow of water right you can be you can do gonna be way more

can be you can do gonna be way more

can be you can do gonna be way more efficient but just the act of measuring

efficient but just the act of measuring

efficient but just the act of measuring it and looking at it will alter your

it and looking at it will alter your

it and looking at it will alter your behavior because because if you don’t

behavior because because if you don’t

behavior because because if you don’t know how what is being wasted you won’t

know how what is being wasted you won’t

know how what is being wasted you won’t do anything about it but but if you know

do anything about it but but if you know

do anything about it but but if you know hey maybe I’m you know using way more

hey maybe I’m you know using way more

hey maybe I’m you know using way more water for my lawn or or this there’s a

water for my lawn or or this there’s a

water for my lawn or or this there’s a lot of leaks and in the building I need

lot of leaks and in the building I need

lot of leaks and in the building I need to do something about it just by looking

to do something about it just by looking

to do something about it just by looking at the data I will alter your behavior

at the data I will alter your behavior

at the data I will alter your behavior and that’s why we need to monitor water

and that’s why we need to monitor water

and that’s why we need to monitor water usage and then then understand how can

usage and then then understand how can

usage and then then understand how can we can be more efficient with it right
