Alentejo summers are hotter and drier than anywhere else we cover. Water is often limited, rationed, or costly, and your crop is already working close to its limit. Here, a wrong guess costs more than it would further north.

Crops here run closer to both thirst and heat stress than in cooler regions further north. That means the same small error in a water estimate matters more: too little, and you're already losing yield before it shows; too much, and you're pouring a scarce, often expensive resource down the row for no benefit.
With irrigation water frequently rationed or metered across the region, knowing your real crop water use helps you spend a limited allocation on the days and blocks where it will actually do the most good, instead of spreading it evenly and hoping.
What this replaces
Instead of irrigating on instinct or waiting for visible stress signs, by which point yield or quality has often already been affected, you get an early, plot-level read on how fast your crop is drawing down its water budget.
Direct scarce or metered irrigation water to the blocks and days where it will matter most.
See water use climbing before the crop visibly shows it, while there's still time to respond.
Tuned to Alentejo conditions, not averaged away by a milder, wetter national picture.
No sensors to install, no meteorology degree required.
Satellite imagery covers your land automatically, day after day, even across large properties.
Translated into a straightforward evapotranspiration estimate, tuned to local heat and dryness.
A clear picture of which blocks need it most this week, useful whether water is abundant or tightly rationed.
