Project Thesis

؜ Our project is an smart automatic irrigation system that uses the amount of rainfall in tandem with the soil moisture levels to deliver pin point accurate irrigation.Our client currently has no way to read her soil moisture level or get an exact measurement on how much she's watering. On the website we created, the plants above or below the ideal soil moisture level are highlighted red. Christine can also see how much rain fell in the last day.

؜Proposed solution

After meeting with Christine for the first time, we decided to work on water consumption efficiency and cutting down on labor.

We were considering a snow collection system.

Client interaction 1

Client interaction 2

Talking to Christine for a second time we decided to focus on an automatic irrigation system with cost in mind.

To save money, we're using the existing irrigation system and adding only automation and data collection.
