Smart Irrigation Innovation in Vitoria-Gasteiz

1. LIFE11 ENV/ES/615 PROJECT • 2015/11/24 • INNOVATION IN IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT LIFE11 ENV/ES/615 www.gestdropper.com Gest Dropper is a smart irrigation system,LIFE11 ENV/ES/615 product project

2. 1. THE IDEA • 1.1. Theinitialproblem. • Vitoria-Gasteizhas a corporateGISinternalmanagement and externalassetmanagement. • There are no automatic irrigation equipmentintegrated or want to integrate open communicationprotocolsmanagementsoftware. • There are no programmers interacting modes of operation, «multicable-decodificadores-autónomos», against a single management software. • 1.2. Thesolution. • In July 2011, we present a demonstration project "LIFE" to the EuropeanCommission, with the idea of creating a system of remote automatic irrigation, integrated in the GIS of Vitoria-Gasteiz, and develop four prototypes of field control. • The four prototypes were proposed: «Multicable, Decodificadores, Autónomo and Mixto (deco-multicable)». • The project demonstrates its efficiency by 100 teams placed in the field. • 1.3. The resolution of the European Commission • In July 2012 the European Commission accepts the proposal and we began working in September.

4. 2. THE LIFE PROJECT • NAME: IRRIGESTLIFE • IRRIGESTLIFE is a project funded by the European Union, through its LIFE + Environment Policy and Governance Project program. • TITLE: TELEMANAGEMENT NETWORK USING FREE CONTROLLERS CONECTED TO A GIS FOR AN OPTIMIZED IRRIGATION SYSTEM IN VITORIA-GASTEIZ • BUDGET: 2,817,737 € • The total eligible cost amounts to 2,514,817 €, of which the LIFE + Programme of the European Union will finance 47% of the total eligible costs: 1,184,213 € • CONSIGNMENT BY PARTNER: • PERICA obras y servicios 63.5 % • Estudios GIS 14.8 % • CEA Centro de Estudios Ambientales 10.9 % • PRYSMA Calidad y Medio Ambiente 8.7 % • Ayuntamiento de Vitoria-Gasteiz 2.1 %

5. 2. THE LIFE PROJECT • The project consists of different development activities: • Preparatory actions (analysis of the current situation of automatic irrigation). • Implementation actions. • Monitoring the impact of actions. • Communication and dissemination of project. (Web, merchandaising, fairs, conferences, etc.) • Monitoring and management of project progress.

6. 2. THE LIFE PROJECT • IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS • Detailed inventory of the irrigation system and its characteristics. • Remote irrigation management application integrated into the municipal GIS. • Communication between the GIS and field teams through APN. • Fourprototypes (programmers): • Gd: «decodificadores» • Gm: «multicable» • Ga: «autónomo» • Gmx: «mixto» • Thesensing.. • Climaticfactors (ETP, rain, temperature, wind) • Mechanicalfactors (flow control, electrical control, ground humidity) • Theconclusions. • Knowledge of our irrigation actions, make us efficient in the use of technical resources and water. • Developers can integrate other brands if those brands want.

12. 2. THE LIFE PROJECT • KEY POINTS FOR THE PROJECT • The necessary equipment with power in the solenoid: • Pulse counter. • Master valve (latch solenoid). • Programmer and sensing. • The necessary equipment without electricity in the solenoid: • Flow Sensor. • Solar panel and rechargeable battery. • Radio actuator (latch solenoid), Radio repeater. • Master. • Knowing the electrical structure of the installation. • Knowing the hydraulic structure of the installation. • A programmer must be associated with a single hydraulic system (pulse counter). • The functionality of the pulse counter. • We know each valve flow, rainfall. • Detect overruns on breaks of: sprinklers, sector piping, generals,etc.

23. 2. THE LIFE PROJECT • RESULTS OF THE EXPERIENCE • WATER SAVING: • For really know the rainfall of each irrigation sector. Flow x time / surface. • Optimization of doses applied irrigation water requirements of vegetation by the daily calculation of ETP. 17%. • Dose optimization irrigation by the difference between irrigation needs shaded-sun-semisunshaded. 20%. • Optimizing for leakage control. And optimizing response times leaks. 18% (3000 alerts) • For control of ground humidity drip irrigation. • Control of spray irrigation efficiency in windy conditions, in rain.. SAVE 35-60 %
