1. A method comprising:
- receiving water usage data from a meter device;
receiving an identifier from a user associated with the meter device;
providing an interactive interface to the user, the interactive interface conveying at least some water usage information based on the water usage data;
receiving a first characterization of a first water activity from the user, wherein the first characterization characterizes the first water activity by a quantity of water consumed over a duration of water consumption, the first characterization including a user designation of both a period of time in the water usage information representing the duration of water consumption and a water usage categorization to be associated with the period of time;
characterizing a second water activity based on pattern matching;
generating a visualization based on the water usage information and the first characterization of the first water activity; and
displaying the visualization.
