What was the challenge/problem addressed?

Irrigation is a strategic sector in Spain, since its contribution is essential to guarantee sufficient and healthy food for the population, in climatic conditions of irregular rainfall distribution, aggravated by climate change.

For these reasons, it is necessary for farmers to have the best information available in real time.

Jak rozwiązałeś problem??

The Ministry of Agriculture, Rybołówstwo i żywność, through the General Subdirectorate of Irrigation, Natural Paths and Rural Infrastructures, makes all the information collected through the SiAR Network of meteorological stations available to users free of charge.

Co jest innowacyjne w Twoim praktycznym przypadku?

The SiAR space project integrates the data from the agroclimatic stations of the SiAR of the MAPA, located in the main irrigation areas, with the temporal sequences of images from the Sentinel and Landsat 8 satellites, with the main objective of monitoring the irrigated crops, which allows determining with the greatest possible precision the water needs of the crops and the precise moment of use of the necessary water, which will lead to water and energy savings and obtaining optimal crop performance.

SiAR Space allows web access to temporal sequences of satellite images and products derived from them such as irrigated surfaces and the water balance carried out on these surfaces.

Jakie są czynniki sukcesu w rozwiązaniu problemu?

Solve the following irrigator problems:

Data queries.

Advanced queries.

Data reports.

Net needs.

Renewable energy calculations for irrigation.

Agrometeorological episodes.

My space.

An own API has been developed.

Zdobyta wiedza

The data collected by the stations is of high quality, largely due to the exhaustive preventive and corrective maintenance carried out on the stations. Dodatkowo, all station sensors are periodically taken to the laboratory for calibration.

The stations record temperature and humidity values ​​every 10 minutes and radiation, opad atmosferyczny, and wind speed and direction every 10 seconds, generating average hourly and daily records. Data is provided to users in the form of daily, weekly and monthly logs for non-registered users and registered users, and average hourly logs are also provided.

What role does the advisor or advisory service play with the practical case?

The advisor must recommend the use of the application to irrigators.

SiAR being a great example of what DATS (Digital Advisory Tools and Services) are.

DATS like SiAR make it possible to improve the sustainability and productivity of farms.
