Executive summary

Pistachio orchards around Damghan rely on scarce groundwater. The platform blends in-field sensors with weather-led evapotranspiration models to recommend irrigation slots that respect both crop demand and allocation rules.

Challenges addressed

  • Declining aquifer levels and strict water quotas.
  • Manual scheduling that ignores differences between orchard blocks.
  • The need for transparent reporting to grower cooperatives.

Delivery approach

  • Deploy soil-moisture and canopy sensors in representative plots.
  • Fuse remote sensing indicators with hyperlocal weather forecasts.
  • Generate irrigation priority indices with alerts and advisory notes.

Delivered outcomes

  • Farm dashboards with colour-coded block status.
  • Usage reports comparing consumption against targets.
  • Training materials for growers and irrigation technicians.
