Description Smart- irrigation system (SIS) targets Egypt's water crisis by redefining the irrigation tools and technologies used in Egypt. # Smart Irrigation System ### Modules (in orphaned branches) - Web server with Django - Android Mobile App - Machine Learning model with Tensorflow - Arduino C++ code for NodeMCU IOT device ### Integrated features: - CircleCI - Dockerhub - IBM Cloud - IBM Watson Studio - IBM Cloud Object Storage ## Description ### Summary Our solution aims to improve water irrigation to fight drought. This is done by minimizing the amount of water administered to a plant using the moisture level of the soil containing it as a reference to when it needs more water. We use a combination of IoT and ML tools to achieve this goal. ### Problem Statement: For over 7000 years, Egyptians have relied on agriculture as their main source of food, and for many families, it is their main source of income. As the country developed, agriculture became one of the largest industries in Egypt and one of the most profitable. Most Egyptians settled close to the Nile River to have a constant stream of water from which they can drink, and water their fields. Agriculture is also useful in many other industries, such as clothes and dairy products among other things. Egypt is facing a monumental natural disaster in the near future primarily due to the declining levels of the Nile as well as the reduced frequency of rainfall in recent history. That, combined with Egypt’s shrinking agricultural land and arid weather, will result in a countrywide drought that may lead to loss of life if left unaddressed. The drought would result in a major shift in economic balance, where plant products would greatly increase in value. This uncontrolled inflation will result in lower purchasing power for citizens. Eventually, the amount produced by fields will decrease to a level that cannot sustain one family, let alone a country. Another effect of the drought would be the decrease in clean drinking water available for everyone; this alone will cause tremendous loss of human and animal life. ### What We Are Trying T …
