In the vibrant and expanding Deira Island in Dubai, a new commercial and residential development required innovative solutions to ensure the sustainability and efficiency of its infrastructure.
Given the urgent need to establish healthy vegetation that can withstand Dubai’s arid climate and specific conditions, AZUD, in collaboration with the installer Water in Motion and the distributor Window, they proposed an irrigation system that would ensure the rapid and robust growth of the plant species recently transplanted to Deira Island.
The solution needed to be fast and reliable to ensure that a wide variety of plants—from lawns to shrubs and trees—would take root.

The main challenge was to design an irrigation system that would not only ensure efficient and uniform water distribution but also withstand the presence of organic contaminants in the recycled water from the municipal wastewater treatment plant.
This required a highly sophisticated system capable of handling potential blockages and variations in water quality.
To address these challenges, a hybrid irrigation system combining sprinkler and drip irrigation was implemented.
Two vertical electric pumps were installed in parallel, equipped with an electrical control panel and a variable-frequency drive to optimize consumption and adjust the pressure required for different areas, with the help of a pressure tank.
A automatic screen filter AZUD LUXON The 125-micron LCA ensures that the water is free of large particles before it is applied.
Drip irrigation, which is ideal for sandy soils and dense plantings, uses self-compensating drippers AZUD PREMIER 16 mm, ensuring uniform water distribution at a flow rate of 3.5 l/h and with 0.30 m spacing between emitters.
The implementation of this solution provided a number of significant benefits:
The drip irrigation system consists of self-compensating transmitters (AZUD PREMIER PC) with anti-clogging and self-cleaning technology, which ensures a long operation life even in the presence of suspended solid particles smaller than the established filtration degree, but capable of proliferating, such as algae and other organisms.
