This is done using an integrated pressure regulator system that saves water.
In this way, it prevents the water from evaporating by evotranspiration, obtaining large drops that improve performance and allow a uniform distribution throughout the entire area.In autumn, at the end of the summer season, the plants have less water needs, which means a reduction in water consumption, not only in the grass meadows but also in more than 100,000 trees in the municipality. This is done using an integrated pressure regulator system (PRS) which saves water.
In this way, it prevents the water from evaporating by evotranspiration, obtaining large drops that improve performance and allow a uniform distribution throughout the entire area. Water savings are increased as these systems have an integrated anti-drain valve, thus avoiding ponding and erosion caused by drainage in low areas. "We continue working to save water in the green and wooded areas of Murcia.
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 resource and essential, especially in our Region "has highlighted José Guillén.In addition, the Murcia City Council has installed anti-vandalism systems such as irrigation sprinklers that have a system incorporated that makes the head of these devices automatically return to the programmed initial position, even when trying to force or damage it. More than 50 gardens are controlled and monitored remotely thanks to the Murcia Smart City project The Murcia City Council has also incorporated a modern system in twenty new green spaces that allows these areas to be controlled remotely with a computer or mobile device, adding up to a total of 50 gardens in the municipality.
In these new spaces it is possible to activate, deactivate or remotely control the water or humidity of the different green areas.
The mechanism controls irrigation with state-of-the-art systems such as Wi-Fi and GPRS, allowing the detection of any leak or breakdown and the paralysis of the irrigation system if it rains.Among the places where these control systems are installed via Wi-Fi are the Malecón Garden, Chinese Garden, Floridablanca Garden, Fofó Garden, Circular Square, Costera Sur, El Palmar or Santo Ángel, among others.
The new system expands the existing one in numerous green areas of the municipality and is reviewed and controlled by specialists to verify its correct operation.
Among the new spaces where these new remote access points are being installed are Los Chorletes in El Palmar, Villa Carmen in El Ranero, Aljada in Puente Tocinos, Avenida Juan de Borbón in Santiago and Zaraiche, C / Periodista Antonio Herrero in Santiago and Zaraiche , El Secano in Torreagüera and Paseo Santa Águeda in Vistalegre.
The parks and gardens of the municipality use an efficient irrigation system that saves 30% It is important that trees and plants grow healthy to ensure the improvement of the environment, air quality and the safety of citizens by reducing the risk of falling branches.
In this way, the green areas are also beautified and natural shades are offered to all the residents of the municipality, with the central objective of improving their quality of life.
Likewise, the frequency of irrigation has been modified, taking place in this summer time at night, to improve evapotranspiration that makes the plant increase its vitality and better absorb the water it needs, saving costs and resources.
For this, the automated systems have been updated so that they irrigate more frequently and measure the appropriate amount of water that corresponds to each area, being different at each time of the year.
