Four years ago, in a small school garden at our school, the co-founders of vesi worked to cultivate plants and broaden our knowledge and teach others about gardening. We always had a thriving garden during the school year, but during summer, all of their plants would die because no one watered them, which put all of our hard work to waste.

 

Four years later, we have finally created a solution to this problem, by creating vesi.

 

vesi’s mission is to conserve as much water and money as possible, through the use of modern technology. In the United States, fifty percent of landscaping water is wasted, meaning that only half of it is effectively used. At vesi , this is an extremely important issue to us and we hope to lower this number as much as possible. Our product, will sense the pH, moisture, and temperature of your soil and will wirelessly open a valve that enables water flow to your sprinklers, watering your plants. Unlike other timed watering systems where they water regarless if it has rained or if your plants have not absorbed all of the water, vesi will water your garden only during the most optimal times, which is determined by our soil sensor! All of the data collected will be conveniently displayed in an easy-to-use app. Also, in the app’s advanced mode, you can manually change how much water is given to your plants. The vesi module will be powered by a solar panel in order to efficiently use the sun’s energy. At vesi, you can be part of making a greater change. Help us save as much water and resources as possible and lower your water bill. vesi, "Your road to saving water".
