Agriculture accounts for 22% of freshwater abstraction in Europe, outnumbered only by freshwater abstraction for cooling in energy production (45%). In the light of the real need to practically improve the environmental performance of irrigation systems and prevent the misuse of water, the overall aim of ENORASIS is to develop an intelligent, integrated Decision Support System (ENORASIS Service Platform and Components) for environmentally optimized and thus, sustainable irrigation management to be used by farmers and water management organizations. ENORASIS system targets to motivate irrigation farmers to optimize the use of water, whereas it also provides (irrigation) water management organizations with intelligent tools and services to effectively forecast and manage irrigation water resources, cover irrigation demand and charge customers (farmers) on the basis of an intelligent system of motives and incentives that exploits irrigation demand side fluctuations. To achieve so, the ENORASIS project will develop and integrate a bouquet of advanced technologies, methodologies and models in the fields of: (i) weather prediction systems that exploit satellite observations; (ii) irrigation optimization techniques and (iii) smart irrigation systems; and (iv) wireless sensor networks (functioning with solar energy) as key enabling technology for field measurements and monitoring conditions.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Agricultural Informatics}, author={Syropoulou, Panagiota and Symeonidou, Machi and Tekes, Stavros and Wawer, Rafal and Kazantzidis, Andreas and Crnojevic, Vladimir and Bruggeman, Adriana}, year={2017}, month={Aug.} }
