IRGATEC SYSTEM: SUSTAINABLE USE OF WATER IN THE AGRICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The definition of irrigation management is of fundamental importance in
irrigated agriculture. The objective of this study was to optimize the use of water in
agriculture, reducing the environmental impact caused by the waste of water in
agricultural practices. A localized irrigation management system was developed
consisting of an application and an analog sensor. The system proved efficient, being able
to determine the irrigation time and the losses of water by percolation, providing a more
efficient use of the water.
