Traditional irrigation usually waters at the same time, for the same duration. Whether it rains or the weather cools down, the schedule stays the same. More often than not, that means more water than necessary. ESTRON turns this logic around: it decides based on the real state of the site, not a fixed calendar.

Why is water wasted?

Classic timer-based systems run regardless of the weather. As a result:

  • Watering continues even when it rains.
  • On cool days, plants get more water than they need.
  • Excess water seeps deep into the soil where the roots cannot reach it.
  • Every wasted litre of water is also wasted pump energy.

What does ESTRON do?

ESTRON combines data from on-site sensors with weather forecasts and satellite imagery. This lets it understand how much water the plants really need and adjust the watering time accordingly. It postpones irrigation on days when rain is expected and increases it as needed during dry, hot spells.

In short, the decision is no longer made by a calendar but by the system, based on the current state of your site.

How are water savings measured?

"Up to 40%" is a general claim; the figure on your site is measured. There are two ways. First, watering time: the time a fixed schedule would have watered is compared with the time the AI watered. In a 228-day calculation with Istanbul's 2025–2026 weather data, that difference is 6,840 minutes against 2,694; the decisions are on the decision cards on the home page. Second, water volume: on a line with a flow sensor, consumption is logged in litres and compared with the previous season. Time and water are not the same thing; with a constant flow rate they fall in the same proportion.

In the public sector measurement is no longer a choice but a rule: Türkiye's xeriscape decree requires water use to be recorded through measurement and monitoring systems. See what the xeriscape decree changes in park irrigation.

What do you gain?

  • Lower water consumption: because only the needed amount is applied, wasted water goes down.
  • Lower energy costs: most of irrigation is pump energy, so as water drops, your electricity bill does too.
  • Healthier plants: they are neither left thirsty nor harmed by over-watering.
  • Less effort: you no longer have to keep adjusting the schedule by hand; the system decides on its own.
Practical note: saving water is good not only for nature but for your wallet too. Watering only as much as needed means a lower water bill, lower energy costs and less maintenance. ESTRON manages all of this in the background, with no effort from you.
