Description of the measure

Introduce a very reduced amount of water for irrigation (max 1500 m2) for ensuring yields economically feasible

Comments on sustainability

This irrigation technique is for ensuring a minimum uniformity in the yields over the years, so farmers do not abandon farming activity. For this, the volume used (not more than 1.500 m2) should be carefully monitored ad the most efficient irrigation technique used
