Description of activities

Selection of experimental farms.
Study of the characteristics of the selected farms.
Manufacturing of infiltration devices.
Installation of infiltration devices in the selected pilot farms (point 3.1.1).
Installation of soil moisture sensors and digital rainfall stations for digital irrigation and humidity monitoring in irrigated and dryland olive groves.
Performing Electrical Resistivity Tomography (TER).
Monitoring soil moisture parameters on experimental farms (digitalization of soil water monitoring, specific indirect measurements with proven moisture sensors).
Monitoring of olive grove morphology on experimental farms (phenological study of olive trees) (with respect to control olive trees).
Monitoring olive production parameters on experimental farms.
Monitoring and evaluation of the hydrological impacts (variations in runoff, sediment transport, humidity, infiltration, etc.) that infiltrators may have on experimental farms.
Interpretation of results and conclusions.
Drafting and dissemination of reports.

Objectives

Optimizing rainwater and irrigation in tree crops with the infiltrator device.
