Crop Water Productivity (Research)

Python programming GIS Remote sensing Climate Action Sustainability Precison Agriculture

This is my final year project about Crop water productivity. It is aimed at assessing the amount of yield that can be obtained from a given amount of water. This is done by estimating yeild, rate of evapotranspiration, and amount of water available in the soil. The project is done in Bura Irrigation Scheme, Tana River County, Kenya. Complete project write up can be downloaded here

Automated Soil Desalinator

Python programming GIS Remote sensing IOT Precison Surveying

This project is aimed at improving agricultural land that is saline (has too much mineral salts). Such land cannot support growth of several crops thus the need to lower salt level. Using GIS, we map the areas with such soil properties and embed GIS system to platform(tractor and other farm ploughing equipment) and automatically quantify amount of solution to be used. The system is automated using robotics technologies and some few manual work can be performed.

Crime Alert System

Romote Sensing Photogrametry Drone Mapping Surveying Arduino programming

GIS system that consist of drones that are connected to several sensors within a town, and crime hotspot areas. This system work in a way that whenever the sensors records the programmed issues, a drone fly to the scene very fast and record live as this is forwarded to the nearest security centre or police station.
