Irrigation technology
Irrigation technology is a solution to problems arising from water management and seeks to optimize agricultural yields per unit of water used. Supplying the right amount and quality of water to the crop at the right time improves production and agroecological conditions.
The modernization of irrigation is one of the solutions to the problems that are arising from the rationalization of water resources and having better agricultural yields per unit of water consumed, represents obtaining better agroecological conditions. Applying to the crop the water that it requires in quantity, quality and opportunity to improve production is the option to obtain better results in the harvests. In other words, the modernization of irrigation allows reducing water losses from the conduction and distribution network to the plot, increasing its availability and achieving a better use of the supply with greater efficiency, improving the quality and opportunity of the irrigation service and increasing the production and productivity of water.
