IrriGate

Features IrriGate

In IrriGate you direct water in an irrigation system to try to keep your crops alive.
As you play you will find keeping all of your fields watered becomes more difficult.The app is based on the ancient archaeological site of Engaruka in NE Tanzania.
Engaruka had large terraced field systems growing staple grain crops such as millet and sorghum.
The site was abandoned around 300 years ago – for reasons which are still a mystery to archaeologists.
Irrigate was developed by Muhammad Zharif Hadi as an MEng project in the Department of Electronics at the University of York.
It was developed in collaboration with Tabitha Kabora and Daryl Stump as part of the AAREA project, funded by the European Research Council FP/200702013 / ERC Grant Agreement No.
