Development of crosslinked flexible bio-based and biodegradable pipe and drippers for micro-irrigation applications (HYDRUS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

"The Southern Accession countries and Southern EU countries use the largest percentages of abstracted water for agriculture (75 % and 50 %, respectively), primarily for irrigation. This means consume of 120.000 Millions of m3/year of water. The use of micro irrigation system can reduce the water consume in near 60%, i.e., reduction in consume of 70.000 millions of m3/year. Furthermore, this market ...
