Indian agriculture is currently responsible for 22% and 85% of India’s total electricity and water consumption respectively. A main objective of SCORRES is the development of financially viable, robust, location specific irrigation systems for the Indian agricultural sector, based on clean energy and storage.
The “smart” part of the system is ICT software which designs, forecasts and controls the crop-specific irrigation. Pilot projects are operational in Auroville, Tamil Nadu, India.
