Agriculture is one of the main consumers of freshwater products. The challenge of draughts is a major obstacle to the progress of agriculture. In the present study, the rheological properties of the water have been modified to change the flow properties. For the preparation of rice husk powder, a prototype of a machine is proposed. Rice husk powder and starch are used to modify the viscosity. Six samples are prepared using rice husk and starch in varying proportions. The rheological properties are measured at a shear rate of 0-200. The presence of powdered material has significantly altered the viscosity of the water.
