The International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID), established in 1950 is the leading scientific, technical and not-for-profit Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). ICID, through its network of professionals spread across more than a hundred countries, has facilitated sharing of experiences and transfer of water management technology for over half-a-century. ICID supports capacity development, stimulates research and innovation and strives to promote policies and programs to enhance sustainable development of irrigated agriculture through a comprehensive water management framework.
Mission and Purpose
The mission of ICID is to stimulate and promote the development and application of the arts, sciences and techniques of engineering, agriculture, economics, ecological and social sciences in managing water and land resources for irrigation, drainage, flood management, for achieving sustainable agriculture water management.
ICID is dedicated to enhance the world wide supply of food and fibre for all people and believes that food security at various levels: global, national, local and household, and provision of assured livelihood starts with stable agriculture production. ICID encourages public private partnership in development and management of water resources.

The BRL Group - A designer-builder and operator of large irrigation schemes in France and abroad
In France, BRL is a concession mandated Regional Development Company. As such, our experience is similar to a PPP agreement.
In Languedoc-Roussillon, BRL designed and still manages (until 2051) all the infrastructure in a large-scale raw water system belonging to the Regional Council. The water system is composed of 105 km of canals, 4 dams and reservoirs, 80 pumping stations, 6 water treatment plants and almost 5 000 km of buried pressure pipes. By 2020, the Aqua Domitia pipeline project, engineered and run by BRL, again with full asset management and operation responsibility, will be extending the system to 150 km, compensating for the effects of climate change and responding to changing local demands. So far, it is the largest project of its kind in France.
In the last 60 years, BRL has equipped more than 120 000 ha for irrigation. Thanks to the Regional Water System, the BRL Group supplies more than half the irrigated area in the region and is providing for the irrigation of another 4000 ha, mainly thanks to Aqua Domitia.
In Morocco, BRL is a shareholder in AMENSOUSS, the concession grantee in charge of the construction, operation and maintenance (for 30 years) of the El Guerdane citrus farming scheme (10 000 ha).
In Ethiopia, BRL is in charge of developing Megech and Ribb irrigation schemes (18 000 ha) in the frame of a management contract covering irrigation scheme design, construction supervision and scheme operation and maintenance for 6 years.

Contact: CACG, Tel: +33 (0)5 62 51 71 49, email: contact@cacg.fr
For more than 50 years, the CACG has worked daily to effectively implement development projects. Its ambition is to develop regions while respecting the environment, sharing resources and enhancing local economies.
Drawing on its know-how, the CACG adjudicates the sharing of water resources between agricultural and industrial users and environmental needs.
The CACG has built its regional development approach around the issue of water resources and proposes innovative solutions involving better management of resources, finding non-traditional water resources, optimizing irrigation and studying new management scenarios.
Beyond technological innovations (remote management systems, remote monitoring systems, data sharing via Internet, development of decision-support software, etc.), we are developing a social and economic policy for management of water resources which has a positive influence on both economy and environment.

Agralis works with professionals involved in water management, irrigation and fertigation, weather monitoring, climate change, agronomy, and soil conservation.
Whether you are a researcher, farmer, manager of green spaces, or environmental engineer, Agralis aims to satisfy you by implementing technical solutions adapted to your business.
Agralis is the exclusive distributor of Sentek capacitance probes for Francophone countries. These probes measure soil moisture, temperature and salinity through the entire soil profile with sensors placed every 10cm. Innovative installation methods result in minimal disturbance of the measurement site.
Sentek Capacitance probes are flexible and adaptable to mutliple dataloggers (available protocols include SDI-12, Modbus over RS232 / RS485, ...).
Sentek also produces dataloggers, including the All-in-One - the first telemetry system without a solar panel in the Sentek range: Quick and easy to install.
Always innovating, our experts have developed a new concept for the automation of irrigation from measurements in situ: Aqualis.
Aqualis connects to soil, weather or environmental sensors, and allows remote control of your irrigation and fertilization in response to local conditions. The controller connects M2M over free band radio, GPRS or Ethernet. Thus, water is supplied according to plant consumption and their requirements, and can be automated directly from our web interface www.aqualis.fr
Agralis works with you throughout project implementation and ongoing measurement campaigns, by providing users with training, installation, irrigation consultation, and maintenance.

Oyas®, the best for your plants watering !
Oyas are buried micro-porous ceramics.
Filled with water, they slowly diffuse needed moisture to plants
This constant watering and without excess avoids stressing the plants. It keeps substrate soft and wet and promotes the development of fauna and microflora.
It also prevents the growth of weeds because the top layer of the ground is not irrigated.
