Aragon, through Sarga, Regaber and University of Saragossa, will realise along 3 years, a study on the technology and the tools for the saving of water and power in the irrigation by dripping for crops extensivos. Of this form, the companies participants will develop a project in which it pretends investigate and develop procedures, machinery and tools of software that facilitate the implantation of irrigation located in crops extensivos so as to reduce the consumption of water, the requirements of pressesure, the diffuse pollution and the energetic costs.
The interest in developing this project centres in the consolidation of the irrigation by dripping and his increasing penetration. To this has added recently the facet associated to the energetic consumption, in where the systems located present advantages. And it is that, thanks to proposals like this, pertaining to the subprograma Innpacto 2012, framed in the 'National Plan of Scientific Investigation, Development and technological Innovation' achieves cover important needs in the field of agricultural transfer.
