SMART Irrigation is Sustainably Managed, Accountable, Responsible and Trusted Irrigation.
SMART Irrigators aim to minimise their environmental footprint through efficient water use but must also be able to run a profitable business. This allows them to reinvest in new and improved technologies to ensure sustainable and responsible irrigation over time.
New irrigation technologies and decision support tools are continually being innovated both globally and in New Zealand. Water use efficiency and energy use efficiency are main the focus of these innovations. Fortunately efficiency is linked to improved better quality production and improved profitability. Over the two decades there has been a major change in the irrigation technology used in New Zealand – a move from manual flood irrigation to remotely controlled spray irrigation such as centre pivots, dripline and microsprinklers.
There are three components to SMART Irrigation:
-The irrigation system can apply water efficiently
-The use of water is justified
-Irrigators can provide proof of the above and are held responsible for their actions
