The document “Characterization of Digital Solutions Used in Irrigation” is a technical report that analyzes digital solutions for efficient water management in agriculture in Spain, France, and Portugal.
Context and Objectives
The report highlights the importance of digital technology in irrigation, considering that in Spain 70% of water is allocated to agriculture. Its main objective is to help farmers select the most appropriate technologies to optimize water use.
Levels of Irrigation Digitalization
Four levels of technification are described:
Irrigation Programming: Use of programmers to automate the irrigation schedule.
Monitoring: Use of sensors to record real-time information.
Precision Irrigation: Integration of data to apply the necessary amount of water at the right time.
Intelligent Irrigation Systems: Autonomous systems that automatically decide when, how much, and how to irrigate.
Management Systems in the SUDOE territory
Spain: SIAR System
Network of automatic agroclimatic stations
Provides data for decision-making in precision irrigation
Portugal: SAGRA System
Agrometeorological System for Irrigation Management in Alentejo
Includes a network of automatic weather stations
SAGRA-NET: platform to consult daily data
MOGRA: user tool for irrigation management
France: Meteorological Stations Network
Extensive network of weather stations for agriculture
Companies like Sencrop, Isagri, and Weenat offer specific tools for irrigation management
Benefits of Digitalization
The implementation of these technologies in the three countries allows:
