WATER SCARCITY SAVING

The Aral Sea was not lost to drought. It was lost to schedules. The same rivers still feed four million hectares — we change the dates, not the water.

In canal irrigation, crops don't stress because water ran out — they stress because it arrived on the wrong day. AmuFlow replaces rigid state calendar schedules with real-time, satellite-driven water intelligence.

Same water. Same limit. Better dates.

Colouring illustrates the mechanism. The 2–3× figure is the measured gap between the state calendar and the proven optimum, from our published method.

01

Satellite-powered precision

Public satellite data — weather, soil, crop water use — read for every field, every day. No sensors to install, no hardware to maintain, nothing to procure before a district can start.

Water-saving irrigation

Every watering calendar is one point in an enormous space. The solver simulates each field's moisture day by day and returns the single schedule it can prove is best — inside the same canals, inside the same limit.

Convenience & compliance focused

The output is the same ten-day plan the district office already files — same form, same rules, same paperwork. Only the dates change, and every dose carries its reason.

Our mission

In 2018 the dried bed of the Aral Sea rose into the sky and fell on our cities. That sea was not lost to drought — it was lost to poor decisions. We build the layer that supports timely decisions on where the water goes, when the water goes, so that the resources we still have outlast the crisis coming for them.

Our vision

Water is the hardest resource on a farm to schedule, so we started there. Every other decision depends on the same data and the same constraints. AmuFlow grows from an irrigation tool into the operating layer for agriculture across Central Asia — planning the season, then running it.
2026 · Jul–Nov
Pilot on 250 hectares, KhorezmThe engine runs a full season alongside the existing irrigation method. Same water, two schedules, one district to compare them on.
2026 · Dec
Pilot validated and reportedDeliveries, soil moisture and yield measured against the state calendar, and published openly.
2027 · Jan–May
Dispatcher released to clusters and WCAsPackaged releases for agri-clusters and water consumer associations, in their hands before the season opens.
2027 · May–Nov
Calibrated on deployed landWe work the season alongside every deployment — tuning the engine to local soils and canals, and building the monitoring the offices ask for.
2027 · Dec
Second stage concluded, benchmarks publishedWater saved, yield held and hours of office work removed, reported per deployment.
2028 · Jan–May
Integrated with suvhisobi.uzPlans filed straight into the state water-accounting platform, with district-level WCA deployments across regions.
2028 · May–Nov
From monitoring to actuationAutomated gates: the plan opens and closes the offtake itself, with the dispatcher in the loop and able to override.
2028 · Dec
Government collaboration concludedA full account of what national integration delivered, handed to the ministry and made public.
2029 · Jan–May
National coverageEvery irrigation district in Uzbekistan able to run an optimised ten-day plan, with actuator-ready offtakes standard on new deployments.
2029 · May–Nov
Beyond waterThe same field data drives the rest of the season — inputs, machinery and harvest windows planned on one model.
2029 · Dec
First national water balanceA country-wide account of water planned, delivered and saved, produced by one system rather than reconciled from many.
