Embankment pumps are used to pump superfluous water from fields to mitigate the risk of damaging the crops. These are manually, in person, overseen to make sure they function properly. A monitoring system that lets the farmer oversee the pumps on, for example, their phone, is a potential solution to ease the management of the pumps. This work seeks to answer in what way the pumps should be monitored, and what are the challenges with developing such a system. Based on interviews with farmers, this work developed a monitoring system capable of monitoring the water level in a well where the embankment pump is located. Several challenges and lessons learned are presented and discussed. The interviews concluded that environmental factors are important to take into account when developing a monitoring system for agriculture. After the development, the lessons learned could, in large, be concluded to originate from limitations caused by the scope of a bachelor thesis, in relation to the project’s scale.
