The Jordan Valley is identified as a fertile land with a warm climate and an abundance of groundwater. Various types of agricultural activities prosper in the area, including vegetables and fruit.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
In this case study, we shed light on how Flowless system helps farmers in the Jordan Valley in reducing costs and optimizing operations.
• Real-time data collection is essential for efficient farming
• Automating processes in the farm supports farmers in improving their productivity and reducing operational costs
• Utilizing emerging technologies enhances operations and facilitates efficient resource allocation
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Flowless deployed the precision irrigation system (AgriWiseTM) in four farms on both sides of the Valley. In Palestine, the system helps local farmers in automating irrigation for tomatoes and cucumbers cultivated in greenhouses.
In Jordan, farmers utilize smart irrigation to optimize irrigation for palm trees based on the needs of each tree. The system helps farmers automatically perform daily operations based on an innovative data-driven approach.
System benefits include resource conservation, cost reduction, and improved agricultural yield.
THE SOLUTION
Precision Irrigation in Palestine
AgriWiseTM, Flowless precision irrigation system, helps farmers in Furush Beit Dajan (in the Jordan Valley) by automatingthe irrigation process and reducing costs.
Smart Palm Farm in Jordan Valley
Palm trees are sensitive to over-irrigation. Farmers in the southern Jordan Valley use AgriWiseTM to provide just the right amount of water to enhance date yield
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Stakeholders Engagement
Coordination between all stakeholders in the water sector is essential. While the private sector will continue to introduce technology innovations, close coordination and strategic partnerships with the public sector are key to materializing the envisioned impact.
Innovative Financing
Blended financing approaches proved to be effective in mitigating financing challenges in Palestine. In this approach, both the farmer & the technology provider contribute to covering implementation costs to ensure better outcomes.
Adaptive Solutions
Local technological solutions are often overlooked. It is evident that such solutions are more adaptive to the local context and are more effective in tackling local challenges.
