Abstract
A trans-boundary water resource usage detection method, system, and computer program product, including predicting an estimated water usage by an upstream administrative region using a machine learning model and a tracked water usage, detecting an excess water usage when the estimated water usage exceeds a contracted usage value by more than a threshold value by executing a smart contract on blockchain, and penalizing, via a token exchange in blockchain, the upstream administrative region for the excess water usage by executing the smart contract on blockchain.
