It is not easy to develop a simple, yet effective watering system for plants, though Claypot Egypt seems to have managed to do so. Image source: Shutterstock (#72987352)

Clayola Egypt has developed an irrigation tool that gives plants exactly as much water as they need without much effort.

The contraption requires no sensors or hardware, just a simple gravity siphon system.
