Popis: [EN] We are witnessing an increasing need to accurately measure people's mobility as it has become an instrumental factor for the development of innovative services in multiple domains. In this context, several ICT solutions have relied on location-based technologies such as GPS, WiFi or Bluetooth to track individual's movements. However, these technologies are limited by the privacy restrictions of data providers. In this paper we propose a methodology to robustly predict citizens' mobility patterns based on heterogeneous data from different sources. Particularly, our methodology focuses on a human mobility predictor based on a low-resolution mobility dataset and the use of water consumption data as a facilitator of this prediction task. As a result, this work explores whether the water consumption within a geographical region can reveal human activity patterns relevant from the point of view of the mobility mining discipline. This approach has been tested in a residential area near Madrid (Spain) obtaining quite promising results.
