"It is important that trees and plants grow healthy to guarantee the improvement of the environment, air quality and the safety of citizens by reducing the risk of falling branches.
In this way, green areas are also beautified and offered Natural shadows to all the residents of the municipality, with the central objective of improving their quality of life.
For this reason, these automated systems make efficient use of water, measuring the water needs of each area.
We monitor every drop, since water is a scarce and essential resource, especially in our Region "José Guillén highlightedThe Parks and Gardens Service, which belongs to the Department of Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration led by José Guillén, works with an automated system to make efficient use of water, measuring the water needs of each area.
This supposes a saving of 30%, regarding the irrigation in a manual way."It is important that trees and plants grow healthy to guarantee the improvement of the environment, air quality and the safety of citizens by reducing the risk of falling branches.

We monitor every drop, since water is a scarce and essential resource, especially in our Region "José Guillén highlightedFor this, the automated systems have been updated to irrigate more frequently and the adequate amount of water corresponding to each area is measured, being different at each time of the year.The frequency of irrigation has also been modified, occurring at this summer time at night, to improve evapotransmpiration that makes the plant increase its vitality and better absorb the water it needs, saving costs and resourcesIrrigation is also controlled in large trees thanks to the Murcia Smart City strategic projectLarge trees are controlled by sensors that increase security controls informing the tree environment, temperature, irrigation, soil moisture, as well as foliar.This pioneering initiative, since it is the first time in Spain that it has been carried out on ornamental trees, allows us to have sufficient data to determine a history and predict tree stress situations and minimize risks.This is the case of the ficus from Santo Domingo and Floridablanca that monitor their condition in real time, guaranteeing safety for the residents of Murcia.
The devices are designed to be powered by solar energy and also have a state-of-the-art design that allows them to have minimal energy consumption, and a reduced impact on the environment.This monitoring system is one more element of MiMurcia's solutions as an integrating platform for information and sound for the different services of the Murcia City Council.
