Guide to Preparing a Modern Irrigation Financing File
The documents a Central Bank initiative application needs, ordered in the sequence they are actually collected, separating what the farmer prepares from what we prepare.
Whitepaper: A Methodology for Measuring and Rationing Irrigation Water
The full technical method: how crop demand is computed by FAO Paper 56, how moisture thresholds are set, and how a saving is documented so that it survives audit.
Products and Solutions Catalogue
The complete catalogue of measurement and control units and their accessories, with technical specifications, operating conditions and the bill of materials for each typical system.
Field Controller Datasheet
Two pages specifying the unit that drives the valves in the field: inputs and outputs, communications, solar supply and ingress protection.
Water and Fuel Consumption Log Template
A printable or spreadsheet log for meter readings, running hours and litres consumed, which computes the cost per cubic metre for you.
Field Installation Guide for Soil Moisture Sensors
Where a probe goes and why, at what depth, and how the cable is protected - the errors that ruin the data are installation errors, not device failures.

The Central Bank Modern Irrigation Initiative: How It Actually Works, and Who Decides What
A 55.5 billion EGP facility at zero interest over ten years to convert farms to modern irrigation. This is what the bank asks for, what we prepare, and where our role ends and its decision begins.
Application Efficiency: The Whole Arithmetic Behind Irrigation Saving
Why does scheduled drip save between a quarter and two fifths of the water? Not a technical miracle - a simple fraction: what reaches the root zone divided by what was pumped.
Why We Measure Soil Moisture at Two Depths, Not One
A single probe near the surface gives an accurate reading of a place that does not matter. The second probe, at the base of the root zone, is what tells you whether you are over-irrigating.
LoRaWAN, NB-IoT and 4G on Egyptian Farmland: An Honest Comparison
Three connectivity options that do not compete on absolute merit but on fitness for the case. These are the drawbacks of each, as we state them to a client before signing.
The Baseline Study: Why We Insist on Two Weeks of Measurement Before Installing Anything
Without a "before" number there is no "after" number. Two weeks of measurement turn the saving from a promise into the difference between two readings.
From a Fuel Receipt to a Cost per Cubic Metre: A Half-Hour Calculation You Can Do Yourself
Most farms know what they spend on diesel each month and not what a cubic metre costs them. The difference between those two numbers is the difference between an expense and a decision.
