For example, while the inside of the water pipe 21 is always filled with water, the inside of the water pipe 21 becomes contaminated over time, and this state of the water pipe 21 is caused by the water flowing through the water pipe 21. It may affect water quality.

At this time, the operating level of the ionization device 211 can be differentially controlled according to the degree to which the value of the second water quality prediction information exceeds a preset limit value.

It can be determined by the difference between the water quality measurement information and the second water quality prediction information value.

The management device 100 operates according to the water quality measured and/or predicted at a location inside the water pipe 21 and the water quality predicted at a subsequent measurement time based on this, that is, the state inside the water pipe 21 (e.g. : Pollution level) changes can be determined.

For example, the management device 100, based on the first water quality measurement information and the second water quality prediction information, controls the water pipes at the first time point and the second time point in at least a portion of the first location, the second location, and the third location. It is possible to determine the internal condition and changes in the internal condition of the water pipe.
