This approach consists of optimising the upkeep of outdoor spaces by adopting precision irrigation techniques and ensuring the technical competence of those carrying out the work (employees or contractors). The aim is to keep plants healthy and attractive while minimising water withdrawals. It relies on rigorous planning of watering times, the use of water-saving devices and continuous awareness-raising on climate issues.

Its features
Time-based optimisation
Watering scheduled for the coolest hours to eliminate evaporation losses and protect foliage from sun scorch.
Micro-irrigation technologies
Installation of water-saving systems such as drip irrigation, microporous hoses or ollas, allowing slow, targeted delivery as close to the roots as possible.
Flow control
Systematic fitting of hoses with variable-jet spray guns and flow regulators to adapt the water supply to the specific needs of each plant and avoid waste when moving around.
Skills and awareness
Training of maintenance teams to embed good practice: respecting the volumes needed, detecting signs of water stress and stopping unnecessary watering immediately.
Sustainable water management (SDG 6)
Reduced pressure on groundwater and distribution networks through rational consumption.
Education and awareness (SDG 4)
Upskilling of employees and contractors in modern environmental practices.
Preservation of biodiversity (SDG 11 & 12)
Maintenance of resilient, healthy green spaces, promoting nature in the city and the sustainability of tourist developments.
