5 Reasons to Invest in Smart Water Management
1. Cut waste, keep value
Every drop of drain water still contains valuable nutrients—why let them go to waste? By closing your water cycle and safely reusing drain water, you significantly reduce your need for fresh water and fertilizers. This not only helps the environment but also your bottom line. Dutch tomato growers, for instance, have saved up to €4,000 per hectare per year by implementing these strategies.
Tip: systems like the Priva Vialux M-Line help make safe water reuse possible
2. Increase resilience against drought
Climate change is causing longer and more frequent periods of drought. By recycling your drain water, you ensure a more stable water supply for your crops—no matter what the weather does.
3. Ensure compliance with emission regulations
Environmental laws in Europe are getting stricter each year. Closing your water cycle helps you reduce emissions of nutrients into the environment, so you can comply with regulations and protect the future of your business.
4. Gain full control over your water strategy
Integrated solutions like the Priva nutri-line and Priva Connext allow you to precisely control the quantity, quality and composition of your irrigation water. This makes it possible to balance recycled and fresh water automatically, optimizing root zone conditions at every stage of growth.
5. Maximize your yield
When you tailor irrigation to the real-time needs of your crop, you reduce waste and support stronger, more uniform plant growth. By using data from the root zone, growers can fine-tune watering strategies throughout the season—leading to healthier crops and higher yields.
Tip: You can put this into practice with systems like the Priva PIM in combination with Priva Connext.
In short:
By closing the loop, you’re not just improving sustainability—you’re building a smarter, stronger, and more profitable future.
