Our subject is
Manage natural resources in a sustainable way.
It comes from the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal
number 12, which is entitled "Responsible consumption and production".
The research question we have formulated together is "How could animal farmers optimize their use of water all year long?". The two projects ideas below try to answer that question.
When? Where? Who? Why? Explain the specific context of your project.
Nowadays, with all the climatic problematics, it's more and more difficult for farmer to have constant access to water. Espcailly for Animals farer, who needs to feed them properly, along with growing crops. Last summer, some Animal farmer in Switzerland have seen themsleves receiveing deliveries of water by helicopter, because they were lacking of it because of the heatwave that happened at that time. Then, our project aims to solve this problematic of not having "unlimited access" to water in order for them to do properly their job. It could be applicable for any gerographical lovcation, as long as this problematic exists.

For whom? Describe the users and beneficiaries of your project, and then suggest a quick persona (refer to Part 2 of the course for methodology tips).
The user of our solution would be the companies that are distributing water in designeted aera. It would help them to understand and quantify the needs of the farmers. The Farmer would therfore benefits from it has they would be provided by the right amount of water in order to manage their activities properly.
Persona
What? How? Explain how your solution works, what it enables the user to do, and how is solves the initial issue.
An Ai trained model his able to predict the amount of water needed regarding multiple parameters and data : location, general consumption, weather predictions, number of animals, size of the farm, types of animals, crops, type and repartition....
Explain what features your project involves and hierarchize them from
the most important one to the least.
Remember: a feature is a verb + a noun, it describes an action that
the user can do.
Then, for your first and most important feature (the key feature), write
down and draw the user flow: what steps will the user have to go
through, from the initial situation to the final situation? Again, refer
to Part 2 of the course for methodological tips.

Find pictures that describe the universe around your service (context, users, places, technologies…). Don't try to illustrate the final service that you may have in mind but instead, its context. Basically, translate the keywords you used in the descriptions above to pictures.
List competitors or related projects, and describe how they relate or differentiate to your project.
Books, films, articles… list every reference that may be relevant regarding this project, and explain why.
When? Where? Who? Why?
During heat wave period, French animal farmers did not have access to unlimited amount of water. On the contrary, governmant limited water aprocurement. Therefore, to avoid this situation, we thought that farmers should create their source of water by collecting rainwater and seawater. Nevertheless, these sources of water could not be used for gain farms or for animals.
The idea is to develop a system that detect if the water is clean or not. If it is not, the system will provide a list of treatment that farmers can easily follow to clean their source. In other words, the system will have to analyse the type of bacteria or molecules implemented in the water and link it to the good treatment. Farmers would have unlimited access to water, reuse not clean water and have an ecological footprint.
For whom?
The main beneficiaries of this project are the farmers, the farm animals and soils.
The main user of this sytem will be French farmers in rainy region. Nevertheless, they will need assistance to use this service, as it is quite technical. Treat Your Water company includes a service that provides the analysis of the water.
Persona
What? How?
The young startup Treat Your Water has recently invested in new technologies that detect bacteria and bad molecules in different types of waters. With a connected microscope and a AI system, they can analyse drop of a source of water and see if the water is clean or not. If it is not clean, the system provides a list of treatment that could transform the dirty water into a cleaning one.
What Treat Your Water company does is providing their services each month to different beneficiaries such as farmers. They establish a contract with them with montly meeting to analyse their source of water. Indeed, they organize an appointment with one member of the farm, select 5 glasses of water to analyze and give a result in less than 30 minutes. To make sure that the system is giving the best answer, they test it on 5 different drop of water.
Only two members are present during the execution, one is taking care of the microscope and the manipulation done on the microscope and another one is managing the result offered by the system.
