Irrigation technology

Irrigation technology is a solution to problems derived from water management and seeks to optimize agricultural yields per unit of water used. Supplying the right quantity and quality of water to the crop at the right time improves production and agro-ecological conditions.

The modernization of irrigation is one of the solutions to the problems that are arising due to the rationalization of water resources and having better agricultural yields per unit of water consumed represents obtaining better agroecological conditions. Applying the water it requires to the crop in quantity, quality and opportunity to improve production is the option to obtain better results in the crops. In other words, the modernization of irrigation makes it possible to reduce water losses from the conduction and distribution network to the plot, increasing its availability and achieving better use of the supply with greater efficiency, improving the quality and timeliness of the service. irrigation and increase water production and productivity.
