Chennai-based Shammy and Priya Narayanan have developed a way by which gardens and even crop fields can be irrigated via sensors, without human intervention. In May, he and his wife, Priya (38) began working on the "Fire and Forget" solution to watering gardens and even irrigating crops, automatically. “Many of our friends expressed a desire in gardening but complained that they could not take it up as they did not have the time to maintain gardens,” said Shammy. Currently residents of Chennai, Shammy and Priya have come up with a way to water plants with sensors and efficient plumbing. Shammy and Priya's water gardening technology consumes two units of electricity per month, costing Rs 10.
