Irrigation

Agriculture consumes most of the water abstracted around the world and has been the motive behind a large number of water resource development schemes. Designing irrigation networks has been one of Sogreah's key activities and the company has participated in reclaiming millions of hectares of land across all five continents. With rehabilitation now becoming more common than new irrigation projects, we are now using our experience of networks and regulation to modernise and optimise existing schemes.
