1. A water usage monitoring system comprising:

  • at least one sensor communicating at least one parameter relating to water usage;

    at least one microcontroller representing a location, each microcontroller in communication with at least one of said sensors and havingat least one input for selectively receiving said at least one parameters, wherein the at least one input includes an active skate and a static state, wherein the at least one input is configured to selectively receive the at least one parameter at a first time interval in the active state and a second time interval in the static state, wherein the first time interval differs from the second time intervala counter,an accumulator that utilizes said counter and said parameters received from the atleast one input for a discrete count to create a data packet in response to a change in at least one of said parameters, anda transmitter for wirelessly sending said data packet;

    a data collection device configured to receive and combine at least one data packet from the at least one microcontroller into an information set, wherein the data collection device is configured to transmit the information set; and

    a storage device configured receive the information set from the data collection device.
