Situation+Analysis

**__Requirements__ //..// //MoSCoW// **

 * Must Have:** ( // without this, its useless) //


 * **// Sunlight //**
 * Some form of water
 * Filtrated water
 * Seed packets


 * Should Have:** (//would be clear value-added requirement but will work without it//)


 * PH water level scale to measure the acidity and alkalinity of the plants water. (A pH of -1 to about 7 is acidic, 7 is neutral, and above 7 is alkaline)


 * Could have:** (//might be nice but not essential//)


 * Larger garden sizes. The larger the garden, the more plants, therefore more productivity out of the Oasis Garden.
 * Fertile soil. Sparse supply of soil in areas of Nigeria, where this idea came from.


 * Want But Wont Have: (//can't wait until feature iterations//) **


 * Large quantities of vegetables to satisfy the whole community.
 * Ways to make these plants produce quicker. Research and development into this are needed.
 * Pipes or a hose knob so that water can be filtered in cases of shortage of water supply.


 * __Scenarios__

A 35 year old Nigerian man and his family have been caught under some horrible living conditions, they are as follows...**


 * **1;** Flooding in the country, causing infertile soil to pl ant and grow crops on. These wetlands also causing exotic bugs and insects to spread throughout the soil, causing growth problems for plants. With too much water comes; Lower leaves are yellow, Plant looks wilted, Roots will be rotting or stunted, No new growth,Young leaves will turn brown, Soil will appear green (which is algae).


 * **2;** Lack of Water/ Heat for the Oasis Garden. Long droughts in Nigeria are common, so dealing without large amounts of water for a period of time is key in these sort of conditions. Water is a necessity for all humans to have to live and without water, there is a problem not just for the plant growth, but also for iteas nutrients, so it can grow healthy and strong.


 * **3;** Water-Based Diseases. Clean water is hard to find in this third world country and because of the lack of clean  water, diseases are easily spread through bacteria spread throughout the water. Bacterial and protozoal diarrhea, hepatitis A and E, and typhoid fever are all caused through waterbourne diseases.
