HYDERABAD, Sept 10: Giving a robust technology boost to its ongoing environment sustainability measures, GMR led Hyderabad International Airport Limited became India’s first Airport to induct a cloud based Central Irrigation Control System using an “IMMS online” (Irrigation Management and Monitoring Software) mechanism to control the intricate Automatic Irrigation System across the 80 acres of landscape spread along the 8.4 km stretch of the Airport spine road.
A first of its kind technology to be introduced in the country, the control of irrigation system is precise and timely, enabling the airport to save water up to 35 per cent over the conventional mode of irrigation system, a statement here said on Tuesday.
Speaking on this achievement, Mr SGK Kishore, CEO, GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited said, “As an environmentally conscious organization, it has been our continuous endeavour to leverage new technologies to optimize and conserve natural resources.
While the Airport is striving towards becoming water neutral, the implementation of a cloud based technology for our automatic irrigation system is a strategic move to further conserve water. The new system empowers us to effectively control the usage of water, while also making it effortless to use for our workforce as it can be controlled through any internet enabled data device,” Mr Kishore said.
