The Problem
Watering is often guesswork
Watering plants shouldn’t be guesswork. AquaNeer helps students, educators, and garden managers make data-driven irrigation decisions that save water, protect plants, and promote sustainability.
​
Across schools and community gardens:
-
Plants are overwatered or underwatered
-
Irrigation schedules ignore weather, soil type, and plant needs
-
Valuable water is wasted, especially during droughts
-
Students rarely learn why or when plants need water
​​
With less than 1% of Earth’s water available as freshwater, and nearly 70% used for irrigation, smarter watering matters.​
​
Our Solution - AquaNeer
Turns data into intelligent watering schedules
AquaNeer is a smart irrigation assistant that combines various factors like - ​
-
Soil moisture sensor data
-
Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, rainfall, evapotranspiration)
-
Soil types
-
Plant types and growth stage
-
Size of the garden bed
to provide simple and easy to follow watering schedules. ​AquaNeer tells you when to water, how much to water, and when not water.
​
It makes it easy for students, teachers, and community garden managers to maintain their gardens while conserving water.
​
The dashboard shows water savings over a period.

Remote Monitoring
How it Works!
AquaNeer uses a machine learning model to analyze data from soil sensors, garden, and environmental conditions to provide intelligent watering recommendations.
AquaNeer follows a simple and easy-to-use process:
​
1. Add Gardens
After logging into dashboard, users can add one or more garden beds by specifying soil type, plant type, growth stage, garden bed size (area), existing watering method (manual or timer) with existing watering schedule.
​​​
2. Deploy Soil Moisture Sensors
A WiFi enabled soil moisture sensor kit with a microcontroller is installed in each garden bed (one sensor per 8 ft x 4 ft garden bed) to collect real time soil moisture data
​
3. Get Intelligent Watering Recommendations​
AquaNeer's machine learning model analyzes garden setup details, soil moisture sensor data, and environmental conditions to provide clear, easy-to-follow irrigation recommendations including when to water, and how much to water.​
​
4. Monitor Water Usage and Savings
Users can track estimated water savings compared to existing methods. This helps schools and communities measure impact and improve water-wise practices.​
