Question

ERD conditions: Read
Need to know the date and content of the reading.
i. The storage of previous water meter readings is poorly designed because it contains redundant data that can be found in existing data
ii. Consumption should not be a calculable attribute.


In the ERD I showed, WaterConsumption is used as FK, PK is in READING, and the title requirement cannot be an attribute. I don't know how to solve this problem.
Can Waterconsumption be calculated without being an attribute?

 

Note:
The Meter_reader entity and the Water_Meter entity are many-to-many relationships, and Reading is an associated entity. The other connections are correct.
