ROOT-ZONE DECISION WORKBENCH / SIH 2026
Test an irrigation decision before the field trial.
Compare four soil-treatment paths through one explainable water-balance model. Every number is simulated and every assumption stays visible.

MATERIAL DISTINCTION
Hydrogel is not biochar.
Hydrogel is represented as a finite water store that releases below a moisture trigger. Biochar is represented as a moderated loss factor. The combined path applies both effects, but makes no claim of proven synergy.
