Rain Percentage Gauge.
A metrology instrument used to measure the amount of precipitating rainfall per area.
My solution is a Rain Percentage Gauge working to measure the amount of precipitating rainfall per area, ideally at farmers. Its fortification is hydraulics centered and does not require any source of power for application.
I am trying to deal with food insecurity by the solution. Which I think is also contributed by the equipment used by framers for farming. Because agriculture is the one dominating the primary sector of economic activities globally.
Through the solution I am looking to reach out to farmers using unreliable agricultural equipment and impact their lives with geared technology contributing to their business sustainability.
Going through blogs containing lastest agricultural equipment aligning with the proposed solution. Searching in-depth information over circular economy limiting it to the farmer's productivity and resilience. The organization I once worked with was mlab pertaining to the solution. Recruiting innovators with technologies to address challenges faced by the agricultural industries in the country.
- Other: Addressing an unmet social, environmental, or economic need not covered in the four dimensions above
Production of local and reliable agricultural equipment. Contributing to increased production rate in our Homeland farmers. Meeting the challenges of food insecurity and collapsing economy.
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model
As an engineer, I managed to distinguish durable materials for the technology I am proposing and built it too. And finding ways of having it with a technical drawing, easing its manufacturing process and easy to communicate it to the outside world.
- A new technology
I used hydraulics principles, which are a branch of science and technology to built the Rain Percentage Gauge. And is inventive because it have a digital reading port, uses no source of power for application and all the materials used on it are recyclable.

Through the solution over the next 1-year period, I would like to serve a minimum of +200 people as technology customers and +30 people as employees for the manufacturing process of the technology.
Influencing affairs in doing of business in my community, completing a course on IP training to teach students at universities with patent information and fostering partnerships with other youth within and out my country. For me to achieve the goals will be to qualify and use my social media platforms effectively and authentically.
Simply with achievements and people I have strong connection with in both academic and professional space. And social reputation of my dealings, qualifications and certifications.
Most constraints I am facing is of financing and accessibility to efficient telecommunication devices.
