Last week, the AquaIA team took part in a Project follow up meeting. The meeting was attended by all the differet groups that contribute to the Project, along with members of the Consejería de Agricultura, Ganadería, Pesca y Desarrollo Sostenible from Junta de Andalucía, and it consisted on a series of presentations in which each team showcased its contibutions and future steps ahead. The members of DiversoLab gave a Keynote on the current state of development, with a special focus on how innovative technologies are being applied to the Project.
Other presentations took a deep dive on how controlled deficit irrigation techniques are being applied to lettuce crops, revealing that during the experimental phase, an astonishing amount of 50% water was saved compared to a traditional irrigation approach.
AquaIA is an innovation project with a primary objective of optimizing irrigation for crops in order to save water, using a combination of IoT, AI, satellite imagery and Software Product Lines.
The meeting took place in Bioalverde, where both the tomato and lettuce crops are located. Stay tuned for future updates on how AquaIA is progressing, our team is excited to share any new advancements!
