A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement reports SLUICE, a compiler that turns a council's water-restriction calendar, a rainwater tank's sensor feed, and a household's preference weights into a locked watering schedule enforced by a valve with no manual override, and a suspension rule for residents who override it twice. Across a 46-household, 14-week deployment, reported disputes fall sharply while plant-survival outcomes move little, and an ablation withholding the tank-level sensor input suggests the schedule's lock, more than any one input, carries most of the effect.
