Telangana lost 18 m of groundwater in 25 years. Nizamabad, Karimnagar, and parts of Warangal are over-exploited. AgriSense AI predicts borewell sustainability, suggests AWD & SRI for paddy, schedules pump runtime, and recommends rainwater harvesting structures — by farm, by village, by district.
Standing-water paddy uses 5,000 L per kg of rice. AWD and SRI cut this by 22-40% with no yield loss.
Keep field flooded for first 2 weeks. After that, let water drop 15 cm before re-flooding. AI tells you exact re-flood day via PVC tube sensor reading.
-22% water · no yield lossSingle seedling spaced 25 cm. No standing water — just moist soil. Yields 18% higher than flood-paddy.
-40% water · +18% yieldSub-surface drip lines. 70% less water. PMKSY 55% subsidy. Pre-filed by AgriSense AI.
-70% water · ₹68k subsidy±2 cm flat field = even water distribution. One-time service. 18-25% water saving on flood-paddy.

Random Forest + Bayesian uncertainty trained on Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) aquifer maps, Geological Survey of India (GSI) lithology, Sentinel-2 NDWI, 5-year rainfall, electricity consumption per pump, and reported borewell yields. Output: depth probability, sustainability score, draft-recharge ratio, and 12-month forecast per farm. Calibrated against 8,422 borewell observations across Telangana.
