A detection system is provided for a distributed water infrastructure, where the system is configured to determine at least one of a human health or lifestyle state from water usage patterns in the distributed water infrastructure. The system may comprise at least one processor. The system may receive from at least one sensor associated with the distributed water infrastructure signals indicative of water usage in the distributed water infrastructure. The system may determine from the signals indicative of water usage a current water usage pattern. The system may access a database of a plurality of stored water usage patterns, where each at least one stored water usage pattern is associated with at least one human health or lifestyle state. The system may compare at least one current water usage pattern with at least some of the stored water usage patterns. The system may, based on the comparison, identify a human health or lifestyle condition reflected by the current water usage pattern. The system may institute a remedial action corresponding to the identified human health or lifestyle state.
