# 2023 Boro Bandhu |
Boro Bandhu, a smart water monitoring device for rice cultivation, combats over-irrigation, offering a real-time management solution. Designed after observing Boro rice farming water wastage, it addresses India's groundwater crisis. Each rice kilogram consumes up to 5000 litres of water. Solar-powered and SIM-card equipped, Boro Bandhu measures water height in fields, sending timely notifications to farmers if levels surpass set limits. The smartphone app visualises water levels; SMS in local languages aids those with limited connectivity. For durability, it is protected by a robust shell, is waterproof, and employs locally sourced components for easy repair.
