Data Science for Water Professionals - Level 1
Managing reliable water services requires not only a sufficient volume of water but also significant amounts of data. Water professionals measure the flow and quality of the water and how customers perceive their service. This course presented by Peter Prevos teaches the basics of data science using the R language to analyse water management problems. The skills learned in this course are fully transferable to other data science languages such as Python or Julia.
Learning Objectives
In this course water professionals will learn how to write data science code to solve urban water management problems, including how to:
- Apply the principles of strategic data science to solve water problems
- Understand the principles of writing sound code
- Write R code to load, transform, analyse and visualise data
- Develop presentations, reports, and applications to share results
Program
The course consists of water-related case studies to provide a practice-based learning experience, following the complete data science value chain.
