Agriculture is the mainconsumer of freshwater inthe Mediterranean Region

In order to save this preciousresource, we need to reconsiderWater Management and think ofNEW innovative approaches.

Improvement of the performance of Irrigation Networks - Systems

UPGRADE WATER USE EFFICIENCYBY MEANS OF:

Assessment of crop waterrequirements

Irrigation Scheduling

Results of Research carried out in the last forty years have enabled the development

of methodologies and technologies that allow sufficiently enough precise crop water

requirements assessment for water scheduling, especially at the farm level .

The S.I.S. System has been conceived and developed in order to fulfill the need ofupdated and real time data. The communication network allows to have access to allthe information regarding the user outline and his water consumption, along withthe capability to communicate with the equipment in emergency or failuresituations.





It can be coupled with the existing national databases, thus providing weather andsoil information in order to support the most sustainable Irrigation SchedulingSystems (IRRINET, IRRIFRAME etc). This leads to immediate and clear improvement ofthe irrigation operations with subsequent economic, management and environmentalbenefits.

DSS is a middleware; technologies and software internet oriented, web service in order to rely oncommunication amongst different devices.

What is a DSS?

At the heart of a Smart Irrigation System is the DSS= integration of information layers

• data

• previsions

• measures

• planning

• simulations

• What-if analysis

• Risk analysis

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON IRRIGATION SCHEDULING

IRRIFRAME is an Expert System forIrrigation Consortia developed with thesupport of UE, providing each farmerinformation on the following irrigationscheduling parameters:

•Crop water requirements

•Irrigation interval and frequency

IRRIFRAME improved irrigationand increased quantity andquality of agricultural production.

Timing of irrigationIntervals and frequency

Irrigation Volume Economic convenience

Consortium data

Crop water balance and irrigation scheduling according to intervals and water availability

After first time inputs are automatically assigned by the system

data

IRRIFRAME can be easily accessed by Internetor provided by SMS messages, sent directly tothe farmer. Consortia only need to:

• Provide information on irrigation intervalsand conditions.

• Provide geo referenced data on irrigated areas

Internet access to IRRIFRAMEserver is achievable by enteringANBI website or directly fromConsortia website. The farmer isprovided with a password, in orderto have the irrigation advice relatedto his farm.
