Irrigation audits
Audits are under full development in
Greece and are expected to be
completed as scheduled.
Photos from audits in Greece (u-d): big
gun in corn field, sprinklers in football field
and drip irrigation in greenhouse.
Almost 50% of the 100 audits that are
planned to be performed in Greece
have been done regarding the field
measurements part. All the farmers,
irrigation managers etc will receive an
analytical audit report and the results
will be used to improve the process.
Web irrigation advices system
P6-ROEDM has published the call for
the installation of the meteorological
stations system in the plain of Arta.
This is a great step for the
development of the system.

Specialized research
actions
All partners that are involved in
research actions (P3-INEA, P4-
ISPA/CNR and LP-TEIEP) are running
the 2014 period experiments.
LP-TEIEP has completed the "Review
regarding
low
water–demand
agricultural crops and local plants for
landscaping" and the relevant
manuscripts will be available in the
middle of September.
This period the following experiments
are running:
1. Evaluation of satellite images
for
evapotranspiration
estimation.
2. Evaluation of sensor driven
irrigation in greenhouses.
3. Evaluation of sensor driven
irrigation in landscaping
4. Evaluation
of
alternative
(saline) water sources water for
cultivations
5. Evaluation of alternative water
sources (gray, waste) for
landscaping .
