Resiliants: WATER aims to create a predictive dashboard for avocado...
This innovation focuses on sustainable agriculture in the Canary Islands by integrating satellite and drone data to monitor and improve soil health, water usage, and biodiversity.
Our innovation addresses critical climate-related hazards, including droughts, wildfires, and multi-hazard scenarios, by focusing on comprehensive environmental management. It aims to solve the following key problems:
Drinking Water Management: Ensures sustainable water use and conservation strategies to mitigate drought impacts.
Restore Topsoil: Implements techniques for soil restoration, improving agricultural productivity and reducing erosion.
Biodiversity: Protects and enhances biodiversity, crucial for ecosystem resilience against climate hazards.
GHG and CO2 Emissions: Reduces greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable practices in agriculture and land management.
Own Waste: Manages waste generated by agricultural practices, minimizing environmental contamination.
Aquatic Ecosystems: Safeguards water bodies from pollution and supports aquatic ecosystem health.
Dissemination and Training: Provides education and training to communities and stakeholders, promoting sustainable practices and resilience against climate impacts.
This holistic approach not only addresses immediate environmental concerns but also promotes long-term sustainability and community engagement.

Our innovation focuses on sustainable agriculture in the Canary Islands, addressing challenges such as drought, wildfires, and other hazards. By collecting and sharing environmental, agronomic, economic, and social data through advanced technologies like drone sensors, we aim to restore topsoil, manage drinking water, reduce GHG emissions, and protect biodiversity. This approach helps optimize resource use, improve soil health, and engage local communities in sustainable practices, ensuring agriculture remains viable and profitable while adapting to climate change.
It is developed independently, based on the technical experience (in various areas of the remote sensing environment) of the human team that is part of the project, and the management experience of the new incorporations. We have been working for years in the capture of data with drones and different sensors, as well as training in the treatment of this data and its subsequent processing; this is why we are taking this step, trying to get more out of the information we already work with, adding value to the experience we have acquired.
Until now, the regulations have been the only limitation we have had when it comes to flying in some areas of our island territory. With the latest modification of these regulations, we are allowed to fly in all areas, provided that the necessary permits are obtained in advance. The weather is in any case the only limiting factor but taking into account that the islands enjoy good weather practically all year round, in this aspect, the trade winds would be our only limitation. Working with data from specific study areas, the whole process is generated independently for each location, from data collection, through processing and generation of models applicable to each case, and all this independently of the study areas (location, ownership, surface, boundaries, orography, …) and climatology. The primary sector is the most important sector for the development of a rural community. Everything that represents progress in this area will have an impact on the other sectors.

The main components of the system have been tested separately, and an initial integration exercise has been conducted.
