Irrigation audits
In Greece, LP has completed the data
analysis and the relevant report will be
available in April.
Partners P4 (ISPA/CNR) and P6
(ROP) started the preparation of the
auditing procedures in Italy.
Web irrigation advices system
We will start with a wise proverb of
Tom Cargill (Bell Labs):
"The first 90% of the code accounts for
the first 90% of the development time.
The remaining 10%, accounts for the
other 90% of the development time."
Screenshot from the irrigation advice
application
The irrigation data and advices system
for the plain of Arta is more than 90%
completed and will be available for
evaluation during 2015 irrigation
period.

Specialized research
actions
Most of the experimental work has
been completed and now all involved
partners are in the phase of writing the
relevant technical reports from which
research papers are expected to
result.

The diagram above presents results
from the experiment that concerned
the evaluation of sensors for
landscape irrigation management. It is
obvious that the savings are expected
to be at least 40%. The full technical
report will be available this April at
IRMA's website.
