Description:
The proposed project involves the study, carrying out, experimentation and starting up of drop irrigation techniques using ground water and refluent waters from an organic water purifier. The project can be divided into three main parts: 1. utilization of refluent waters from an organic purifier; 2. cultivation of an extensive area of level ground, near the coast, which is now uncultivated; 3. setting up of a monitoring system above and below ground level so as to assess the actual water requirement for the cultivation and to control the conditions of the underground water in various places. The refluent water is mainly produced in July and August when more water is required for cultivation. A monitoring system will be set up to control the main agrometeorological parameters: height of water-bearing stratum, infiltration, if any, of salt water; the presence, if any, of chemical pollutants, etc. The data will be transferred via radio to a centre in order to be collected and processed in real time.
