1 Water Saving Technology Water Demand & Irrigation Miguel Aguila Prof. Dr. S. Kleisinger Project for Water and Fertilizer Use Efficiency November 6, 2009 EDUCATIONAL AND WORK HISTORY Coordinator of Project for Water and Fertilizer Use efficiency, Company Behr AG, Germany Professor, Colegio de Postgraduados in Agricultural Sciences, Mexico Doctoral Studies, Ph.D., Agricultural Sciences University of Hohenheim, Germany Thesis: Development of a Fully Automated Micro irrigation System for Horticultural Production under Field-Grown Conditions Master in Science, M. Sc. Mexico. Rural Development, Thesis Efficiency of Water Use in Agriculture Computer Engineering, B. Sc.. Mexico. Thesis Design of a Printed Circuit Boards
2 Agriculture Production Requirements -Products with Quality, and Quantity -High Efficiency of Water Use (due also water shortage, scarcity and water prices: m³ aprox. 0,5 ) Planta Water Soil Weather Water Saving Technology Irrigation system: - Surface Irrigation - Sprinkler Irrigation - Drip Irrigation Determination of Water Quantity and Timing: - Climatic water balance - Soil moisture with Sensoren
3 It is not the quantity of water applied to a crop, it is the quantity of intelligence applied which determines the result, there is more due to intelligence than water in every case ALFRED DEAKIN l Irrigation Systems 2 l Determination of Water Requirements and Irrigation Software
4 1 l Irrigation Systems Situation of the irrigation in Spain (Small Vegetables) Combination of Irrigations Systems Planting, Lettuce Field, Spain
5 Irrigation Car (30 min. after Planting) Local Irrigation to avoid initial stress
6 Installation of sprinkler irrigation (30 min./ha aprox.) Sprinkler Irrigation(begin 90 min. after Planting) During initial stage, 2-3 weeks
7 Water Source Water Reservoir Pump Station and Fertigation System
8 Drip Irrigation Installation (1h /ha aprox.) Drip irrigation during crop development, mid and late-season (during 5-10 weeks)
