After the review from the people on Thursday we had a massive pivot of our product. We are going to acquire a sensor to monitor chemical concentration levels in water and soil and sync that over a network into a database. We will have a dashboard to display that data in infographic form and to provide farmers with recommendations on how to improve their soil concentrations. For example, a farmer measures their soil and sees they have a really low level of Nitrogen. We then provide them with options of how to fix that, ie; plant legumes in X quantity.
We also want to incorporate water chemical concentration monitors and put them at the bases of major reservoirs that feed into the city of Vizag. These will read chemical levels, feed the data into our application for everyone to see and also (hopefully) notify citizens via text message or app notification when water levels are unsafe or if they have an exceptionally high amount of X chemical.
