Olive groves · 1,200–1,500 mm/year
Olive growing: every m³ under Mediterranean sun
Olive irrigation relies on exposed basins with up to 1,500 mm/year evaporation.
Context
Irrigation quotas and drought make every stored litre strategic.
Orders of magnitude
10,000 m² at 1,400 mm/year loses 14,000 m³. 88% cover preserves over 12,000 m³.
Solution
Wind-resistant modules, rapid deployment.
Data-backed case study
10,000 m² storage basin in Andalusia (Jaén): 14,000 m³/year gross loss, 12,320 m³ secured with Hexprotect AQUA cover (η = 0.88).
