What Changes?

The Decision-Making Mechanism: Decisions are now based on precise measurements of soil moisture and the plants' actual water needs. By using sensors placed as close as possible to the roots, the system relies on real-time data rather than theoretical models (weather conditions, etc.).
The Irrigation Strategy: The system adapts the frequency of irrigation rather than the duration. Watering occurs only when the water reserve is nearly depleted. This approach prevents the risks of percolation (water loss through deep infiltration).
The Results Obtained: Large-scale deployments of smart irrigation have demonstrated water savings exceeding 50% per year. This level of performance is a game-changer, as it ensures a rapid Return on Investment (ROI), whereas historical methods typically offer no ROI at all.
