This project is part of the Sustainable Tourism Plan in Destination, framed within the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR). The initiative includes the installation of 20 valves at the irrigation points of gardens located on Avenida de los Ejércitos Españoles and Avenida de Europa.

In addition, a control center equipped with a weather station has been incorporated. Thanks to this infrastructure, it will be possible to remotely manage irrigation in various green areas of the city. The system will use information collected by sensors that measure parameters such as soil temperature and humidity, solar radiation, wind speed, ambient temperature, and precipitation.

The main objective is to optimize the use of material and human resources in the operation and maintenance tasks of the irrigation system. This will allow for a reduction in water consumption and associated costs, as irrigation will be carried out according to the needs of each green area. The system will also facilitate the detection of possible water leaks for prompt repair. The project has a budget of 39,309.8 euros and has been awarded to the company MP Irrigation S.L.

The new infrastructure can be expanded in the future, which will facilitate the extension of the smart irrigation network to other areas of the municipality. Along with smart irrigation, the City Council plans to soon implement a smart lighting system and monitor environmental parameters, such as pollution levels, air quality, or UVA rays. All these systems will be integrated into the city's Smartcity platform.

All these projects, including irrigation, lighting, environmental monitoring, and their integration into the Smartcity platform, are part of the Sustainable Tourism Plan in Destination, funded by the European Union through the Next GenerationEU funds. These initiatives will allow Calp to advance in its commitment to becoming a Smart Tourist Destination and will contribute to a more sustainable and efficient management of the municipality.
