LoRa Groundwater Monitoring Kit with Arduino Nano & Pressure Sensor
Monitor Groundwater Level and Pumping Rate from Miles Away with Arduino Nano & LoRa
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Picture a borehole pump that empties groundwater far from the grid, and you need to know exactly how much water is left and how fast it's flowing. With this kit, you'll build a dual-node LoRa system that transmits depth and discharge data from a remote well to a dashboard-no internet, no cellular, just robust long-range radio. It's the same approach used by Indian municipal corporations monitoring Smart City groundwater, now accessible for your farm, research station, or water audit pilot.
What You'll Build
You will assemble a solar-powered field node that lowers a submersible pressure sensor into a borehole to measure water column height, while a flow sensor tracks pump discharge rate. A second Arduino Nano + LoRa receiver logs every reading with an accurate timestamp to MicroSD. The result is a deployment-ready instrument that can sit unattended for weeks, delivering groundwater intelligence over distances of 2-5 km.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrating a submersible pressure sensor and converting voltage to water depth
- Integrating YF-S201 flow sensor for pumping rate measurement
- Configuring RA-02 LoRa modules for point-to-point long-range telemetry
- Logging time-stamped sensor data to MicroSD using DS3231 RTC

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is built for final-year B.Tech ECE/EEE students and MTech researchers at NITs, IITs, VIT, BITS, and other Indian engineering colleges developing smart water management capstone projects. It also serves municipal engineers deploying sensors under the Smart City Mission, AgTech startups in Karnataka or Maharashtra piloting borewell telemetry, and agricultural extension officers testing sensor-based irrigation scheduling. The soldering and field-ready enclosure make it appropriate for professionals who need a permanent installation, not a classroom prototype.
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 if I get stuck during the build?
Our AI companion offers step-by-step debugging for LoRa pairing, sensor calibration, and solar setup. Realtime WhatsApp support is also available for complex issues.
How far can the LoRa link reach?
In open rural areas, the RA-02 modules reliably transmit 2-5 km line-of-sight. Terrain and antenna height affect range, but the AI guide helps optimize placement for your specific site.
Can I power the sensor node without a solar panel?
The kit includes a 6V 2W panel and TP4056 charger for autonomous operation. For short experiments, you can power directly from the 18650 cells precharged. The build guide covers battery management.
Does this kit require soldering?
Yes, the kit includes a soldering iron, solder wire, and prototype boards because the sensor node must be rugged for field deployment. The AI companion includes soldering tips for waterproof connections.
