Description
Summary:Under the influence of the Water Framework Directive and the EU Common Agricultural Policy, and considering the fact that agriculture is globally the largest consumer of water, the efficient and sustainable management of irrigation water has become an issue of foremost priority in the EU environmental agenda. In this context this study presents the ENORASIS Platform, which offers an intelligent Decision Support System (ENORASIS Service Platform and Components) for sustainable irrigation and water management based upon advanced, state of the art technologies, methodologies and models from various scientific fields. Real life pilot cases were deployed in different climate regimes and with different crop types in order to prove and demonstrate the effectiveness and the benefits of the proposed platform.
