Network resilience hackathon

Leeds City Centre Network resilience hackathon – by invitation only

On Tuesday 10th July Yorkshire Water will be hosting a brand new hackathon focusing on optimising our networks to predict our ever unpredictable weather patterns.

We would like to invite you to this exclusive, closed event as part of a unique opportunity to get into the heart of Yorkshire Water and develop new tools and insights that can pin-point the optimal location of over 8,000 network monitors throughout our region.

The event will take place at an exclusive location in Leeds City Centre and participants will get the chance to interrogate multiple datasets, from include pollution incident reports, CSO telemetry data & sewer flooding incident history. Geographic identifiers will be included via secure data transfer methods with GDPR protection provided by a licence arrangement developed by the ODI.

The event, jointly facilitated by our partners the Open Data Institute (ODI Leeds) and with Yorkshire Water Directors and Jonson Cox, OFWAT chair in attendance, will present a unique perspective to our data and offer brand new insights into how new technology can unlock the secrets of our network infrastructure; something we are all keen to harness in this new world of innovation.

The event is a must attend for anyone who has previously attended our data events, those interested in working closely with the water industry and those with a commercial interest in data exploration.Please see the enclosed programme for full details of the event.
