ARIQ Water — Demo video

In Uzbekistan, water scarcity is threatening the future of farming. Agriculture consumes roughly 90% of the country's water, yet many farmers lack easy access to the information needed to use it efficiently. One bad irrigation decision can mean a lost harvest, lost income, and financial hardship for an entire family. As someone born in Uzbekistan, I wanted to help solve a problem that affects millions of people. That's why I built ARIQ. ARIQ lets farmers select their land on an interactive 3D map, understand their soil and water needs, locate nearby water sources, and simulate how drought could affect their crops. Using Meta's Muse Spark, ARIQ also provides an AI assistant that understands each farmer's field, connects directly to scientific calculation tools, and explains the results in Uzbek, Russian, or English. The goal is simple: make advanced agricultural science accessible to everyday farmers, helping them make smarter decisions with the water they have.
