Expertise offer in the water management area
We offer an advanced expertise on the development of nuclear technologies for non-invasive monitoring of soil water content at field and daily spatio-temporal scale. We offer the possibility to employ customized and remote-controlled gamma-ray stations in agricultural field for a continuous and real-time tracing of the soil moisture as ground truthing for the analysis of satellite images. These services are coupled with: • development of ICT tools for cloud computing services and communication protocols to store and exchange big data from earth observations; • realization of prescription maps for farmers with the aim of promoting an efficient use of water in irrigation practices; • development of Android mobile apps for water balance management and irrigation scheduling.
