Team 1602

Our project’s aim is to create a web application to allow farmers to remotely control the amount of water that is being used to irrigate crops and to observe flow rates, nutrient levels, water levels, and rainfall totals from either a computer, tablet, or smartphone.

The purpose of this project is to allow remote communication between the farmers and their irrigation systems that are mechanically implemented. It will allow more freedom and ease for the farmers to control and monitor water levels in their crops by using a user-intuitive graphical user interface. The web application that will stem from the success of this project will have a low learning curve in order to make it convenient and easy to use. The purpose is also to bridge communication between data sent from the user interface to a server and how that data can be interpreted by the server, and vice-versa.

We aimed to create a functional prototype that represents the web application that would be used to allow the user to retrieve readings from water logger devices, and send control settings to irrigation control devices in the field.
