Ultra-budget water level sensor (African use case)
An engineering solution with an extremely low production cost, designed for humanitarian, infrastructure, and agricultural projects in developing regions where affordability is a critical factor

- Feature: The principle of utilitarian sufficiency and maximum simplification of the periphery. The board is designed so that the end user can use a regular plastic bottle as a reliable protective case on site. The solution is resistant to local climatic conditions and easily maintained by local specialists.
- Economy: When ordering medium batches (from 100 units), the cost of one board decreases to an unprecedented $3-5.
This is an effective tool for scaling monitoring networks (for example, monitoring reservoir or sewage overflows) in conditions of a tightly limited budget.
