AmuFlow

Satellite-guided irrigation management

AmuFlow is a software platform that, without any additional sensors or hardware for existing canal systems (zero-hardware), analyzes open-source satellite and soil data with AI and delivers a daily optimal irrigation plan.

The problem

Irrigation still relies on a rigid calendar schedule inherited from the Soviet era: water is released only on the fixed day, regardless of the weather. If rain falls after irrigation, the crop's roots are stressed by excess moisture and tonnes of water are wasted.

25% Agriculture's share of GDP
90% Share of water resources consumed
$5,000 Cost of competitors' sensors

The solution

Five tools in one app: finance, journal, reminders, analysis and an AI adviser; per-field profitability and irrigation advice in Uzbek.

Finance - Per-field profitability
Journal - The farmer's own field records
Reminders - When and how much to irrigate
Analysis - Satellite crop data on every field
AI adviser - Clear advice in Uzbek

Why this project

The problem AmuFlow is solving is personal for the founder: he is a native of the Khorezm oasis in the drying Aral Sea region. Saving water and optimising irrigation is the most painful issue of the region where he grew up.
