irrigua

Irrigua is a term used in agricultural water management to denote a system or approach for delivering water to crops in a controlled and efficient manner. At its core, irrigua combines hardware such as sensors, valves, pumps, and distribution networks with software and analytics that guide when, where, and how much water to apply. The aim is to optimize water use, improve yields, and reduce environmental impact by minimizing losses to evaporation, runoff, and deep percolation.

The etymology of irrigua is not standardized and varies by language; it is often described as a

In practice, irrigua systems typically rely on soil moisture data, weather forecasts, and crop coefficients to
