In a world where droughts are more frequent, water tables are dropping, and every drop counts, how can agriculture keep up? Today, water scarcity is reshaping the way we grow food, making smart irrigation not just a trend but a necessity. According to the United Nations, over 2.4 billion people lived in water-stressed countries as of 2020, and the number continues to rise.
Meanwhile, water use efficiency has improved by only 9% globally, highlighting the urgent need for smarter solutions. The World Bank estimates that climate-resilient irrigation could help feed an additional 1.4 billion people, reduce food prices, and lift entire communities out of poverty. At BERMAD, we believe the answer lies in precision, automation, and data-driven control.
From small family farms to vast irrigation districts, our smart solutions are helping growers and water authorities around the world irrigate more efficiently, more reliably, and more intelligently. It’s not just about adding digital components to an irrigation system; it’s about engineering precision at every level of the water delivery system.
A true optimization of water and other resources usage can be achieved when robust hydraulic infrastructure meets intelligent digital control. At BERMAD, we combine decades of hydraulic expertise with cutting-edge digital innovation to create irrigation systems that are as efficient as they are robust. Our mindset is simple: when each part of the system operates effectively, the network as a whole performs better. Here’s how it all comes together:
- Hydraulic Valves - Our pressure-reducing and flow-control valves ensure that each farmer receives the right amount of water at the right pressure, protecting both crops and infrastructure
- Air Valves - Models like the C10 combination air valve prevent vacuum conditions, reduce flow disruptions, and protect meters and sensors from air pockets, ensuring smooth operation
- Smart Metering - The M10 electromagnetic flow meter provide accurate, real-time data for billing, monitoring, and performance optimization, even in challenging water conditions
- Digital Control - The Omega controller connected to the BERMAD Cloud, enables real-time remote scheduling, monitoring, and alerts, all accessible from anywhere via mobile or web
- Consortium Management Tools and Large-Scale Irrigation Networks - BERMAD's digital platform allows water authorities to manage thousands of hydrants, track usage, generate reports, and integrate billing all from a single cloud-based interface.
Together, these components form a smart, responsive, and resilient irrigation system, one that adapts to changing conditions, conserves resources, and empowers both farmers and water companies.
This mindset is embodied in our hydrant solutions, the critical interface between water cooperatives and farmers. Whether it’s a single-user hydrant or a multi-user Outlet Management System, BERMAD hydrants are:
- Smart: Fully automated and remotely managed
- Durable: Designed for harsh environments and protected against vandalism
- Flexible: Adaptable to local regulations, farmer culture, and crop needs
- Efficient: Engineered to reduce water loss, energy use, and maintenance
