Demonstration of earth observation technologies in routine irrigation advisory services

Objective

Demeter objective is to demonstrate, in an operative way, that the capacity and accuracy of IAS are substantially improved by the incorporation of Earth Observation techniques and new technologies in the distribution of information, so that the final user (the farmer) can accede to it. The project will follow three fundamental steps: 1. Demonstration of the operational use of Koch maps (and other, more advanced products) derived from satellite data in operational IAS. 2. Development and demonstration of systems/networks for distribution of information to the final IAS users (the farmers). 3. Evaluation of demonstration with users and dissemination of the results.
