Introduction

The goal of our application

Motivation California was in 5th year of severe drought About 40% of water consumed is used for irrigation

purposes Greater percentage of soil is destroyed by over-soaking

rather than dryness

Idea Our focus is environment friendly smart watering system Basic concept- manage water sprinklers on campus

grounds Prevent plant & soil destruction Optimize water usage by

Estimating Soil Moisture Collecting weather data

Organize water usage data and statistics

Existing infrastructure at SFSU

No intelligent automation for sprinklers on various grounds: Automation : timer based Manual override

Lots of manual work No soil moisture measurement or calculation

Cox Stadium

Maloney Field

West Campus Green

~ 40 % of campus is covered by lawns

Demanding significant use of water for irrigating them .

Accomplishments Achieved insights

Dashboard with analytics on water usage Gained connectivity

Determining how much water needed for soil Achieved optimization

Maintain required Moisture Level Automated Sprinkler System Monitor Water Usage

Advantages of using our application Cost effective Reduced water bills Maximize soil’s absorption rate, optimize condition = Less

money spent on lawn maintenance Less manual intervention - man-hour saved Smart campus ideology Environment friendly

Benefits(Numbers) Optimize soil and plant conditions covering 171,182 square

meters of land Save 1,578,516-2,298,000 gallons of water per annum Financial Savings of up to $25,000 per annum(excluding

labor) Crucial to note that these are numbers for only one campus,

the possibilities of positive impact are colossal!

Future

Mobile App to control sprinklers remotely Soil moisture sensors Anomaly detection for damaged sprinklers Scientific enhancements of analytics
