Synopsis of the Article:
SVPI Airport Uses Smart Tech to Save Water — set to save over 17,850 kilolitres of water annually – equivalent to the water needs of approximately 132,000 people per day*
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (SVPIA), managed by Adani Airport Holdings Limited, a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Ltd., the flagship incubator of the globally diversified Adani Portfolio, has rolled out state-of-the-art cloud-based irrigation across horticulture areas of the airport. This significant step is making a substantial contribution to the airport’s water conservation efforts.
Covering 17 acres of lush greenery across Ahmedabad Airport, the smart irrigation system, with inputs from sensors and real-time weather data, ensures that each plant gets exactly what it needs, avoiding excess and keeping the environment lush without overuse. This solution optimises water usage by automatically adjusting watering schedules based on local weather conditions, making the process highly efficient and environmentally friendly. The system’s sophisticated technology ensures water is applied precisely, preserving the health and beauty of the airport’s green spaces.
Key benefits of the cloud-based irrigation system include:
- Massive Water Savings: Over 17,850 KL saved annually — enough to meet a small city’s daily needs.
- Healthier, Greener Spaces: Smart watering means happier plants and more vibrant green zones for passengers and staff.
- Control from Anywhere: Teams can tweak irrigation with a tap, from the control room or a smartphone miles away.
This upgrade is one of many steps SVPI Airport is taking to embed sustainability into everyday operations. From energy-efficient lighting to waste reduction programs, the airport is committed to leading by example and inspiring others to do the same.
SVPI Airport remains dedicated to advancing sustainability and enhancing the overall experience for passengers at the airport.
