The evaluation committee of the Retos-Colaboración call, as defined in article 19.9 of the Resolution of December 27, 2017, met on 07/09/2018 and has resolved to propose the granting of aid to the project titled NEW TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS FOR SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF IRRIGATION WITH DESALINATED SEAWATER, file RTC-2017-6192-2. This project is funded by the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness, within the Retos call, and co-funded by the European Union for technological development, innovation, and quality research desarrollo tecnológico, la innovación y una investigación de calidad. The beneficiary entities of this aid that will carry out the project are:

Ecohidro Agua y Medio Ambiente Ebt S.L.
IMIDA (Instituto Murciano de Investigación y desarrollo agrario y alimentario)
Nutricontrol, S.L.
Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena

Start date of the project: 01/10/2018
Project end date: 30/09/2021 Code: SRTC1700C006192XV0
Society Challenges: Food safety and quality; agricultural, productive, and sustainable activity; natural resources, marine research, and agriculture.

SEARRISOST PROJECT

The SEARRISOST project delves into the field of agriculture, combining the use of new water sources (desalinated seawater) with the latest technologies employed in fertilization control and water desalination. Its aim is to develop new management practices for desalinated seawater (AMD), necessary to achieve sustainable agricultural production.

With the development of the project, the following outcomes are expected to be achieved:

To develop highly technological equipment and expert fertilization services that companies do not currently offer.
To improve water usage efficiency (water savings between 5-10%, and up to 15% in fertilizers) resulting from more efficient water and fertilizer management.
Reduce specific energy expenditure and greenhouse gas emissions (up to 20%).
Maintain environmental sustainability by reducing the damage from desalinated seawaters (AMDs) on soil and the contamination of aquifers.
