I love reading about "big data" projects that aren't about marketing and advertising. This is particularly interesting to me with my latent environmental and overpopulation concerns. Fantastic article, good find.
Very interesting, I wonder what kinds of sensors and analysis are behind the software. It's accuracy rate, detection speed and other things like that.<p>Would be really nice to work on this kind of stuff.
I always wonder, hearing these stories, if I should feel bad that my proximity to a natural reservoir of fresh water means that our muni water system is one of the most wasteful in the world. These people are performing Liet-Keynes levels of water conservation.
