Teen Has Created Sprinkler That Only Waters Grass When Needed
An Australian teen was awarded a top prize for his sprinkler device that will no longer waste water on overly-hydrated plants. The device has built-in sensors that moderate soil moisture, weather conditions, and rain intensity. What it does is it looks at the temperature and if it is above 20˚C (it counts as high). From this data, it turns on the pump unless the soil is already wet from the rain. It also has a light detector so it can indicate if it is night or day. It mostly waters in the late afternoon depending on the temperature. With his creation, 15-year-old Sabiqul Hoque from James Ruse Agricultural High won the national Made By Me engineering competition for youth. It took him 2 mouths to make.
