The EU’s substantial investment in irrigation infrastructure under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has not translated into commensurate gains in water productivity at the farm level. Despite €387 billion committed under CAP 2021–2027 and decades of rural development funding for irrigation modernization, only 6% of EU farmland is irrigated, yet this land accounts for 24% of...

At Kenya's Ahero Irrigation Scheme, low irrigation efficiency increases nutrient and sediment runoff into the Lake Victoria . This raises risks of eutrophication in the lake. To enhance water management, the adoption of intermittent flooding and lining canals are practices taken into consideration. Water losses, protection of downstream water quality, and support for sustainable agriculture across...

Micro or drip irrigation has become an important part of modern landscape design due to its discreet subsurface installation and highly targeted water delivery. However, this approach can sometimes come with distinct maintenance challenges that lead to higher long-term operating costs. At the same time, advanced overhead irrigation technology can achieve comparable or greater water savings...

Across southern France, arboriculture is facing a new reality. Climate variability, increasing summer heat, and unpredictable weather events are transforming the way fruit growers manage their orchards. Maintaining fruit quality, tree health, and stable yields now requires innovative irrigation and climate-management strategies.

The Grand Stadium of Tangier has just been renovated in preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations. The stadium’s capacity has increased from 65,000 to 75,600 seats, the VIP areas have been modernized, and the playing fields and irrigation system have been completely renovated. This modernization aims to make it one of the premier venues for...

The group strengthens its commitment to environmental stewardship through Replanting Human Beings™, the project by artist and photographer Giuseppe La Spada. This marks the launch of the 2026 edition of Irritec Stories, which promotes sustainable technology through art.

Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) is currently one of the most efficient and sustainable irrigation techniques. It offers all the advantages of drip irrigation while avoiding any clutter on the ground, thus facilitating mechanization. Drip irrigation allows water and fertilizer to be directed directly to the root zone, optimizing agronomic efficiency while reducing water loss and evaporation.

The municipality of Cavaillon wanted to modernize its irrigation infrastructure in several green spaces, with the aim of reducing the number of controllers and centralizing watering operations.  The goal was clear: to replace obsolete controllers and unify the city's irrigation management under a single cloud-based solution: the Hydrawise® irrigation management platform.

As fields across Europe rest during the winter months, it’s the perfect time for growers to focus on an essential task often overlooked during the busy growing season: preventative maintenance for irrigation equipment.

By Bruno Perroni, Lindsay - Artificial Intelligence (AI), precision agriculture, and smart technologies for irrigation are no longer futuristic concepts—they are rapidly becoming central pillars of modern farming. While these terms have existed in the agricultural lexicon for years, their practical adoption has accelerated, particularly in areas like irrigation, crop monitoring, and decision support.

After many years of use, the 1980s irrigation system began to show its age. Installer Arrosage Concept carried out a complete renovation of the irrigation system between October 2023 and April 2024, expanding the lake's capacity, replacing the old main pipes, and replacing the Rain Bird Nimbus II decoder system by a Rain Bird® IC System™...

The project involved extending a landscaped park between a group of residential buildings in Asnières.
