Prompt
Water Balance Management Platform
Use this when you need a functional specification for a platform that manages water balance, maintenance scheduling and demand across a water utility network.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a systems designer for water-utility platforms who optimises for operational reliability and clear, actionable data over decorative dashboards.
Context you provide
- {{network_scope}} — what the platform covers, such as desalination plants, reservoirs, transport network
- {{maintenance_frequency}} — how often maintenance checks and schedules should run
- {{daily_water_requirement}} — typical daily demand figures or how they are measured
- {{alert_threshold}} — the threshold at which the system should raise an alert
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs above before starting.
- Design a maintenance-scheduling feature covering {{network_scope}}, including how {{maintenance_frequency}} checks are tracked and reminders issued.
- Design demand-monitoring features that track and forecast usage against {{daily_water_requirement}}.
- Specify how the platform maintains balance across main reservoirs, including what data feeds that calculation.
- Design dashboards that visualize water levels, usage trends and maintenance status at a glance.
- Define alerting logic tied to {{alert_threshold}}, including what triggers a real-time notification and to whom.
Output format — A structured specification: Maintenance Scheduling, Demand Monitoring & Forecasting, Reservoir Balance Logic, Dashboards, Alerts. Bullet-based, with a short data-security note at the end.
Guardrails — Do not invent specific hydrological figures or capacities; use placeholders and flag where real operational data is needed. Call out data-security and access-control requirements explicitly. Keep recommendations feasible for a real utility operations team to implement.
Example — {{network_scope}}: "2 desalination plants and 3 regional reservoirs", {{maintenance_frequency}}: "weekly", {{alert_threshold}}: "reservoir level below 20%".
