Water Management
30% of water savings in rice fields thanks to precision leveling technologies
Efficient Irrigation Technologies
Water is a fundamental resource for our agricultural production; therefore, we care for its responsible use and preservation.
We are committed to preventing water pollution and promoting the conscious and efficient use of this natural resource. For this reason, we implement different technologies, such as, Zero Level, Satellite Images, IoT nodes, Drones, Sensors, among others.
Zero Level
The Zero Level system consists of flattening the plots to be irrigated, leaving a minimum slope between each plot. In this way, we are able to irrigate each sector of the lot more efficiently, and at the same time reduce water consumption by 30 % compared to traditional methodology. Likewise, we reduce the energy consumption required for irrigation.
We better preserve this important natural resource, and at the same time we are more accurate throughout the lot.
One of our keys is to combine zero-level irrigation with the use of modern technology
Management Technologies
Through the use of technology, our irrigation management is more efficient and sustainable.
We have implemented electronic sensors, which show us in real time the level of the water sheet, thus achieving better management of the resource.
First Estimates of
Water Footprint
We have calculated our water footprint based on the Water Footprint Network (WFP) methodology in one of our fields.
We have obtained a footprint of 1.48 m3 of water per kg of rice produced, in line with our usual estimates.
