    Smart Water Intelligence
    for Rural Bangladesh

    AgroDropAI turns ordinary village pumps and smartphones into AI-powered water guardians — detecting arsenic, iron, salinity, and microbial contamination before they harm your community or crops.

    Bangladesh has a water contamination crisis

    Arsenic contamination affects an estimated 20 million people in Bangladesh — mostly in rural areas relying on tube wells. Iron contamination, salinity intrusion from climate change, and microbial risks compound the problem. Most communities have no affordable, accurate way to test their water regularly. AgroDropAI makes real-time, AI-powered water monitoring possible with equipment they already own.

    How AgroDropAI works

    📱

    Smartphone Camera Analysis

    Point a phone camera at a water sample using AgroDropAI's guided capture. Computer vision models analyse colour, turbidity, and visual markers to detect contamination.

    🔌

    Low-Cost IoT Sensors

    Clip-on sensors attach to existing village pump outlets. They continuously monitor conductivity, pH, turbidity, and temperature — sending data to the AgroDropAI cloud.

    🧠

    AI Contamination Prediction

    Machine learning models trained on Bangladesh-specific water data predict contamination risk — arsenic, iron, salinity, microbial — from sensor readings and weather patterns.

    💊

    Purify-AI Guidance

    When contamination is detected, Purify-AI guides communities step-by-step through locally-available purification methods in plain Bangla.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is AgroDropAI?
    AgroDropAI is an AI-powered water intelligence platform that transforms ordinary village pumps and smartphones into smart water guardians for rural Bangladesh. Using computer vision and IoT sensors, it detects and predicts water contamination — including arsenic, iron, salinity, and microbial risks — and guides communities through purification using its Purify-AI module.
    How does AgroDropAI detect water contamination?
    AgroDropAI uses a combination of low-cost IoT sensors attached to existing water pumps and computer vision analysis via smartphone cameras. Water samples are photographed and analysed by AI models trained on local contamination patterns. The system detects arsenic, iron, microbial, and salinity contamination and provides a risk score with purification guidance.
    Who is AgroDropAI designed for?
    AgroDropAI is designed for rural Bangladeshi communities, particularly villages dependent on tube wells and surface water for drinking and irrigation. It is also useful for NGOs, government water agencies, and agricultural extension workers monitoring water quality across multiple sites.
    Does AgroDropAI also help with agricultural water?
    Yes. AgroDropAI addresses both drinking water and irrigation water quality. For agriculture, it assesses whether water is safe for crop irrigation, identifies salinity or chemical contamination risks that could damage crops, and provides field-specific recommendations for water treatment before irrigation.
    Is AgroDropAI available now?
    AgroDropAI is currently in active development at agrodropai.shahriarlabs.com. Shahriar Labs is working with early partner communities in Bangladesh to field-test the system. If you represent an NGO, government agency, or rural community interested in piloting AgroDropAI, contact Shahriar Labs to discuss collaboration.
