Today, the way we use our natural resources to provide “life” to the world is very important.

One of the most important activities today is agriculture and the way we use water. It is to our knowledge that it is currently very difficult for farmers to control how, when and how much water they provide to their crops. This develops into two main problems: poor water expenditure and crop loss due to excess or scarcity.

Because of these two problems comes the idea of creating a system that can solve both at the same time. This is Hóoyab Ha', derived from the Mayan word Hóoyab meaning "irrigation" and Ha' meaning "water".

This is a fully automated irrigation system that aims to control when and how much water to provide to the plantation depending on the moisture of the soil. This is achieved by means of soil moisture sensors that detect when the soil's moisture level is too low and needs to be sprayed with water. By detecting low humidity levels, an Arduino validates the information and triggers a hydraulic pump connected to a water source. At the same time, it activates the electro valves that allow the water to pass to the sector corresponding to the sensor that caused the alert. When the moisture in the earth reaches the ideal level again, the pump shuts down and stops supplying the system and the solenoid valves close. This ensures that only the required quantity is used at the desired time at the indicated location.
