HANDYWATER project will develop new solutions focused on bottom-up approach, better reflecting the quantitative knowledge of farmers’ current practices in relation to actual and potential crop water use, allowing to translate water efficient practices on a case-by-case basin into farmer practices and adapted to the crop needs. Thus, in the HANDYWATER project, cooperation with water user organisms and small farmers will play a crucial role in learning processes and knowledge sharing. This will open up opportunities to integrate local knowledge and traditional production elements, in order to improve the profitability of irrigation through the adoption of lean irrigation technologies to generate income for smallholders in Mediterranean area.
