IRRIGATION IN BRAZIL
-
Brazil is among the 10 countries with the largest irrigated area in the world.
-
Today, 6.95 million hectares are equipped for irrigation.
-
Growth has been strong and persistent in recent decades, steadily increasing in recent years
-
Irrigated agriculture is very dynamic and diversified.
-
However, irrigation is still small compared to the country's estimated potential.
-
Many advances are still needed to better characterize and monitor activity.
Water use
Irrigated agriculture needs water in quantity and good quality.
Irrigation is the largest use of water in Brazil, responsible for 46% of withdrawals in water bodies and 67% of consumption (water that does not return directly).
From the point of view of the rational use of water, legal requirements and management instruments, such as the granting of water use rights (authorization of use), promote the sustainability of the activity, increase efficiency and consequently reduce waste.
ECOWATER INNOVA. Control of L. fortunei and D. polymorpha in irrigation systems
ECOWATER INNOVA's proposed actions (mechanical / physical / electronic and biological) aim to break the reproductive chain already installed in the system and mitigate the presence of larvae and adults. The methods, equipment and products used are compatible with the use of water for consumption, and does not contain any chemical or biocidal elements.
The application of ECOWATER INNOVA to closed or semi-closed circuits requires a detailed study of the case (flow rates, source of origin, materials for each phase of the system)
TREATMENT OF TUBES, RESERVOIRS, DEPOSITS
Surface treatment with ECOWATER CERAMICS. Ceramic product specially designed for immersion structures.
It takes care of the entire surface of the receiving tank. It avoids the adhesion and incrustation of any type of living organism in the walls of the deposit. Prevents adult seating on the structures of walls, gates and railings. The treatment is innocuous, long lasting (5 years) and does not affect the quality of water for human use or consumption.
The application of this new technology requires a previous process of analysis of the surface to be treated. Once this phase is finished, the product is applied according to the recommendation of the technical team.
For activation, a period of 2 to 5 days after the application date is required.
