Water management
With Zero Level irrigation technology we reduce our water consumption by 30%.
Efficient irrigation
Irrigation is the critical factor in rice cultivation. That is why we focus on the care of water use.
We develop Zero Level or Controlled Slope technology to be more efficient in the use of water.
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
We use drones, sensors, satellite imagery and digital platforms for a more efficient and sustainable irrigation management.
We have implemented electronic sheet 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 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.
