Data science and machine learning can be leveraged by small and medium sized collection systems for gravity main cleaning optimization. This presentation will cover the basics of machine learning and artificial intelligence with a focus on how these latest tools and processes can be applied by collection systems for operational benefit. The californiasewerspills.com website will also be introduced—a view of ciwqs data focused on gravity main spills and causes that can be used for analysis and comparison within regions and across the state. Case studies from V&A’s work in this area over the past four years will be presented.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to understand data science and machine learning
Upon completion, participant will have an understanding for how data science enhances (but does not replace) traditional processes and decision-making
Upon completion, participant will understand how a leading collection system in California is applying data science and machine learning for operational benefit
