SUSTAINABLE USE OF IRRGATION WATER IN THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION. (SIRRIMED)
- Improvement of water productivity through sustainable Irrigation practices and management (farm and irrigation scheme scales).
- Assessment of the impact of irrigated agriculture on the regional water resources (watershed scale).
- Towards a new concept of water governance.
- Fostering education and training in sustainable irrigation.

UCO will conduct experiments of regulated deficit irrigation on olive plantations, and it will be responsible for the collection of information about the irrigation district of Gualalquivir Basin. UCO’s most important contribution will be the study of the environmental impact induced by new irrigation practices.
- Reports on physiological and agronomical effects induced by key irrigation technologies that save water at the farm scale.
- Guidelines on Best Irrigation Management Practices, specific for each crop and studied case considered.
- Proposals of district best management practices, specific for each studied case considered.
- District Information System.
- Watershed Information System.
- Best practice recommendations for sustainable irrigation water governance.
- The European and international partners added value lies in mutual knowledge generation and in capability-building and increased trade opportunities for European and ICPC companies.
- The project will contribute to the reduction of irrigation water use through the development of innovative, more efficient and water-saving irrigation systems, technologies and techniques.
- The project will address and add value to the global issue of natural resource management.
