The Data Science Revolution
Data comes from many sources: from the results of water analysis to the time, date and location of a customer complaint. The ability to turn data into information is determined by:
- the skill of wrangling data (also making sure the data is in an appropriate electronic format that can be used in the first place!)
- checking the data is not random and maximising its value; and
- delivering the findings in a format that is accessible and can be clearly understood by the audience.
This presentation will explore the relevance of the data science revolution to water and waste management demonstrating its challenges and opportunities, from sampling information to lab derived results, introduce some of the open source and "best" tools to apply data science; with the aim of adding value to the business.
