Our recent webinar discussed "Digitalization and Modernization of Irrigation Infrastructure in Oristano, Italy". The session explored a transformation project in Sardinia, focusing on the upgrading process of BERMAD products that have been operating reliably for 30 years. By implementing these upgrades, the products and the entire system will continue to serve efficiently for many years to come ..read more

Nowadays, digital remote control systems in irrigation infrastructure projects are a must worldwide. Climate change and the more frequent droughts, affecting especially southern Europe, require upgrading and modernizing the existing installations and implementing digital water management systems. Consortiums and farmers need to be able to manage their irrigation remotely while obtaining historical data as a means for understanding operational changes while continuously improving irrigation system efficiency and water conservation ..read more

As energy costs and global food shortages continue to rise, governments and water associations focus on irrigation infrastructure projects that can deliver irrigation water with cost-efficiency. Irrigation water supply projects can broadly be divided into three key areas ..read more

Mechanized Irrigation (mainly center pivots, but also laterals & other irrigation machines etc.) is a modern method of crop irrigation that has revolutionized agriculture since its invention in the mid-20th century. This innovative technique involves the use of large, rotating irrigation machines mounted on wheels, which pivot around a central point, hence the name "Center Pivot ..read more

Designing an irrigation system that utilizes recycled water can be extremely challenging. BERMAD has developed tried and tested solutions to successfully deal with these challenges, designing irrigation systems that deliver optimal performance. In this webinar, we took a deep dive into planning, product selection and ongoing operation ..read more

Irrigation modernization is imperative for optimizing agricultural productivity, especially in regions facing water scarcity and burgeoning demand. The Santa Cruz de Alcolea Irrigation Consortium embarked on a comprehensive modernization initiative in 2016, forming the UTE Alcolea to spearhead this transformation ..read more

Mechanized irrigation was developed during the 1940s to include center pivot, lateral move, and linear move irrigation machines in cultivated fields using minimum labor and infrastructures. These machines must often move over diverse terrain, including sloped areas and muddy fields. They represent relatively large irrigation units from the hydraulic and irrigation perspectives ..read more

Many agricultural applications are challenged by several factors: Optimizing resources has become vital for growers to optimize their resources to improve productivity and ultimately increase profits, while keeping track of resource availability, analyzing processes and monitoring amounts and costs ..read more

BERMAD IR-172 Flow Control and Pressure Reducing Valve has already proven to be an effective and reliable solution. Moreover, it is an essential component for pressure and flow control installed in the Bermad Outlet Management System (or OMS), which is an irrigation control head installed across many projects in India supplying irrigation water for farmers' associations ..read more

Large agricultural water delivery projects require advanced area parcellation and management in order to provide a stable supply of irrigation water to thousands of farmers. In BERMAD’s approach, the entire area (command area) is divided into different zones and sub-zones, each managed by the OMS (Outlet Management Systems). Each OMS is equipped with 4-12 valves, a water meter and pressure sensors, all controlled by one Omega irrigation controller which communicates with the cloud through cellular or RF communication. As a result, each sub-zone is consecutively irrigated in shifts, according ..read more
