Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for managing water consumption when a user engages in a specified water using activity. In an embodiment, the method comprises detecting user movement during said activity; detecting water usage during said activity; creating a pattern associating said user movements with said water usage over a specified period of time; and using said pattern to control a supply of water for the user when the user engages in the water using activity. In an embodiment, movement sensors are used to generate data representing movement of the user during the water using activity; water sensors are used to generate data representing water usage during the water using activity; and the movement data and the water data are processed to generate a data structure correlating the user movement data with the water data.
