How to save water
inagriculture?
Water, a vital agricultural resource, is at the heart of today's environmental challenges. Growers in France and elsewhere are faced with climatic challenges that intensify year after year: severe heatwaves, increasingly long droughts, insufficient natural replenishment of groundwater... Aware of the fragility of this resource, some are looking for sustainable solutions to optimize their water management and consumption.
Would you like to integrate a responsible approach into your business? Thanks to LM Innovation, you can explore different approaches to saving water while preserving the quality of your crops.
Understanding your water consumption
As farming activities are diverse, it's important to understand the specific use of water in each agricultural sector. By assessing your consumption pattern, you can determine which parts of your business require the most water.
This analysis enables you toadjust your practices according to your real needs, and to integrate new measures into your production process. The aim is to reduce your consumption over the long term without affecting your yield.
Water-saving solutions for everyday life
Monitor and maintain your pipes
Regular monitoring of the condition of pipes and irrigation systems is essential to anticipate and quickly repair leaks. And to keep your pipes in good condition, you need to treat them effectively against limescale.
This is where LM Innovation comes in. Our solutions improve the quality of the water you use every day by optimizing its properties. This transformation also affects the limescale naturally present in water, which clings less to surfaces once it has passed through our system.
As a result, the water flowing through your pipes still contains limescale, but this is less easily deposited on the walls. What's more, LM water also acts over time on scale that has already built up. By reducing the effects of limescale, it helps keep your pipes in good condition, promoting more efficient water use and heating.
High-pressure cleaning with LM water
High-pressure cleaning is both more efficient and uses less water. For effective cleaning, combine high pressure with LM water. More efficient, leave a contact time of just a few minutes: you can then cold-wash all surfaces, even the greasiest.
Optimize crop cleaning
Use efficient equipment to dry-clean your vegetables. Regardless of the type of soil in which they are grown, the removal of soil particles should be carried out largely without water. This not only reduces your water consumption, but also your wastewater treatment costs.
Irrigation, the sinews of war
More moisturizing water to limit losses
Our technology enables water to better penetrate plants. As a result, you can use less water to irrigate your crops. This also means you can optimize the quantity of plant protection products used. As LM water is more efficient, it boosts the effectiveness of inputs and plants integrate them more readily.
Limit soil evaporation for more efficient irrigation
Systematic soil mulching is an effective technique for limiting water evaporation. Covering the soil surface with organic materials such as straw, wood shavings or canvas creates a barrier that reduces water loss. This method also promotes a more even distribution of water in the soil, ensuring better absorption by plant roots.
Intelligent irrigation
Adopting irrigation systems that can be programmed according to the weather helps limit evaporation. By adjusting irrigation schedules to the periods when sunshine is mildest, you optimize water uptake by plants.
Localized irrigation
Micro-irrigation, such asdrip irrigation, is one of the most effective solutions for saving water. It ensures high yields and ultra-precise irrigation by targeting plant roots. Nevertheless, a drip irrigation system can be prone to clogging, notably due to limescale. To counter this, use LM Innovation's solutions.
Multiplying water sources is not synonymous with savings
Using alternative sources such as wells, ponds or boreholes does not guarantee real water savings. These sources reduce your dependence on the public network, but are not a sustainable water-saving strategy. However, our water treatment systems can be installed on a borehole or well. This means you can enjoy all the benefits of LM water using your own water supply.
It's the combination of good practices and the performance of LM water that will make your business a responsible one over the long term.
