The partnership of the European project e-Rigation, which includes the participation of CIM Douro, met in Bragança on October 6-7, 2026 to coordinate activities and develop innovative solutions for efficient water management in agriculture.

During the working session, partners analyzed technical progress, with a special focus on the implementation and adjustment of virtual station analysis and forecasting systems, the integration of their data into irrigation applications, and the evaluation of optimized solutions through virtual weather stations.
The meeting also included a study visit to Alfândega da Fé, which brought the project's work closer to the territory's reality.
The e-Rigation project is co-financed by the European Union through the Interreg Sudoe Programme.
