700 Million people lack adequate access to safe water. Solar water pumps can help, feel free to hack this project.
*In drought-affected areas of Africa, women must walk miles to find water, risking violence or animal attack, in order to sustain their families and animals. They do this with the knowledge that the dirty water they have collected may well make their children very ill.
Using the overabundance of sunshine, solar pumps draw water from a 100-meter-deep well, providing families with the water that they need and rendering cases of water-related diseases a thing of the past.

STL design file is included.
We have used mostly, components from SIEMENS in our design.
We have used a SIEMES S7-1200 PLC.
The code has been developed for a STM32 microcontroller, using ARDUINO. A T-BEAM board has been used for this purpose. The sketch sends 0-10V sensor data over LoRa every 30 seconds.
We have developed this dashboard in TABLEAU
