terraplus Claim

We set up the terraplus smart irrigation system

for use in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s climate and
soil.
We designed the terraplus for optimizing your
investment and saving enormous amount of water,
improving quantity and quality of crops production
and saving fuels on pumping extra water.
Accordingly, we estimate for every one Saudi Riyal
invested in the system, the farm will save 7,000
liters of water per year.
 terraplus
terraplus is a very economical smart irrigation system based on direct
irrigation straight into the rootzone to avoid water loss by evaporation.

terraplus System contains a special mineral added to the soil to act as

a sponge holding the water for the rootzone to absorb by osmosis, thus
effectively preventing further water loss by seepage!

terraplus was designed to install, use, and maintain easily by local

farm workers.

terraplus was developed in Belgium for application in arid climates

and soil like found in the Arabian Gulf.

terraplus provides sustainable agriculture at low cost by direct

irrigation method straight into the root zone.
 Water Facts on KSA farms
• Farmers find it difficult to know exact amount of
water used in irrigation
• Most workers on KSA farms come from countries
having more water than found in the Kingdom
• Most farms use basin water for irrigation
• Water evaporates at high percentage from basin
surfaces
• Water is lost to evaporation during flood irrigation,
drip irrigation or sprinklers’ irrigation.
• Water percolates and seeps down in the ground
due to sandy soil

Present Water Situation on Date Farms in the Kingdom
 Current Water Consumption by Date
Palm trees in the Kingdom
 A date palm tree needs about 60 CBM per year

 By monitoring several farms in the Kingdom, we noted

using near 120 CBM on average!
 Palm trees take 90% of their water needs from within
150 cm around the rootball
