Remote Borehole Water Monitor Variant 7 Kit with Arduino Nano + LoRa
Remote Borehole Water Level and Flow Monitor Kit with LoRa and Arduino Nano
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Driving across the farm to check a borewell manually wastes time, fuel, and risks missing critical drops in the water table. This kit lets you build a solar-powered, LoRa-connected field station that transmits real-time groundwater depth and extraction flow rate back to your office or farmhouse. You gain actionable data to prevent pump burnout, schedule irrigation rationally, and document aquifer health across seasons — without a SIM card or recurring cloud fee.
What You'll Build
You will construct two Arduino Nano nodes: a field transmitter housed in a waterproof enclosure, powered by a 6V solar panel and 18650 cells, reading a submersible 0-10m pressure sensor and a YF-S201 flow sensor. The receiver unit logs every data packet — timestamped by a DS3231 RTC — to a MicroSD card. You end up with a CSV time-series record of water column height and litres pumped, accessible on any computer.
What You'll Learn
- Establish a point-to-point LoRa link between two RA-02 transceivers for farm-scale distances
- Design a solar charging circuit with TP4056 and 18650 cells suited for continuous outdoor duty
- Calibrate a submersible pressure sensor to derive centimetre-accurate water depth
- Implement a local data logging pipeline with RTC timestamping on SD card for post-hoc analysis

Who This Kit Is For
This build suits B.Tech Agricultural Engineering and ECE students working on precision farming capstone projects, Smart India Hackathon teams tackling water scarcity, and research scholars studying groundwater dynamics. It equally serves progressive farm owners, ATL lab coordinators mentoring advanced students, and faculty at IIT, NIT, or state agricultural universities who want a rugged field-deployable data logger without relying on patchy GSM connectivity.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.

What range can I expect in an agricultural setting?
The 433MHz LoRa link reliably covers 1-2 kilometres with line of sight, and several hundred metres through light foliage or mild undulations.
How deep can the pressure sensor be submerged?
The 0-10m sensor works for most shallow to mid-depth boreholes. Ensure the diaphragm never rests in silt, and the cable gland remains sealed inside the waterproof enclosure.
Can this work without sunlight for multiple days?
With conservative data intervals, the dual 18650 cells sustain operation for 48-72 hours. The 6V 2W panel replenishes charge during daylight, even in overcast conditions.
LoRa-connected Arduino with submersible pressure sensor monitors groundwater level and pumping rate at remote borehole.
