Projecto e gestão optimizada de sistemas de rega em espaços verdes

Mestrado em Arquitectura Paisagista - Instituto Superior de Agronomia Regarding the maintenance of green spaces, watering is essential. This will help meet the aesthetic and functional objectives stipulated by the Landscape Architect. However, with increasing concerns about saving this resource, it is essential to do the watering in the most efficient manner possible. This paper aims to highlight the importance of the presence of water in a green space; make known how has the water distribution in irrigation systems evoluted; Demonstrate one of the most used methods in the procedure of calculation of water requirements and also illustrates how to design and manage an irrigation system. The methodologies used are based on lessons learned in the classes of Applied Engineering to Landscape Architecture (at the Higher Institute of Agronomy - University of Lisbon) with certain adjustments in the Project. To conclude, the only way to sustainably use water in a green space is to mandatorily incorporate a well structured irrigation system and that water is distributed in the amount, which corresponds only to the requirements of the plants. To conclude, the only way to sustainably use water in a green space, is to mandatorily incorporate a well structured irrigation system and that water is distributed in the amount, which corresponds only to the requirements of the plants. In summary, pointing to the requirement of in each case, to conceive a project of irrigation, based on satisfying the water needs of plants to benefit, to develop a set schedule of watering, so to minimize the loss of water and subsequently monitor the functioning of the system with proper management
