Smart irrigation:
Advances through IoT sensors

Drastically reduce water consumption and costs,
Increase quality of stay and quality of life

Thanks to precise and sustainable irrigation planning, not only is water consumption reduced and tree and plant loss avoided, but general operating costs are also significantly optimized. The savings will help ease the financial burden on municipalities and free up resources for much-needed urban development projects. Healthy green spaces and plantings ensure a more pleasant and healthy climate for residents and visitors.

The current situation:
Conventional irrigation systems

In conventional irrigation systems, water distribution is often uncontrolled, which leads to unnecessary water consumption and drying out of plants. In addition, there are losses due to defective pipes and evaporation. Together, this means high operating costs and wasteful use of resources.

Traditional irrigation methods can be costly because water, for example, and fuel and personnel during irrigation trips are used to a greater extent than necessary and the replacement costs for dried-out plants are high. In addition, when there is heavy rainfall (not least heavy rain), excess water is simply drained away instead of securing it and storing it for drier periods.

The solution: Holistic data for better decisions and more efficient processes

We rely on a smart irrigation management system that combines state-of-the-art technologies and data-based solutions to ensure efficient and sustainable water use. IoT sensors continuously measure relevant data and provide a comprehensive picture of water demand and availability, but also of possible water losses due to leaky pipes.
This data is merged, harmonized, analyzed and visualized as a basis for more informed decisions, more effective, automated deployment and route planning for irrigation trips and a better water supply for healthy trees and plants.

By integrating historical and current weather data and forecasts as well as reports from citizens, the use of water at the points of need is optimized and oversupply is avoided. Natural and artificial reservoirs such as lakes and ponds, cisterns and tree trenches enable the targeted storage and use of the valuable resource water, which also help to collect excess water during heavy rain events and make it usable in the spirit of a circular economy and the principle of a sponge city.

Route optimization and
environmental protection

With the help of IoT sensors in irrigation systems, irrigation routes can be planned dynamically and more economically and driving distances and vehicle wear can be saved. This drastically reduces CO2 emissions. Healthy green spaces improve air quality, provide natural shade and cooling, and reduce noise.

Increased efficiency and improved staff deployment

By closely monitoring water requirements and demand-based planning, cities and communities can make their irrigation significantly more efficient. This enables more targeted deployment of the often scarce staff, as unnecessary irrigation operations are avoided.

Saving fuel and optimizing costs

The precise and needs-based use of water through smart irrigation planning and processes significantly reduces water consumption and significantly optimizes the use of vehicles, fuel, equipment, etc. The savings help reduce the financial burden on municipalities and free up resources for other processes.

Conclusion: On the way to a sustainable future

Building on the principles of the sponge city and circular economy, smart irrigation with IoT sensors marks a significant step towards sustainable and efficient water use. Through comprehensive and precise data, process optimization and cost savings, this technology not only contributes to increased quality of life and environmental protection, but also strengthens the financial stability and future security of cities and communities as well as urban ecosystems.
