From Smart Irrigation to Saudi Arabia’s National Digital Twin of Water

Saving 20–40% of irrigation water today while building the Kingdom’s first AI-powered water intelligence system for tomorrow.

Be Part of the First National Water Twin

Saudi Arabia’s Water Challenge

Agriculture consumes over 80% of Saudi Arabia’s freshwater, yet up to 40% is wasted due to inefficient irrigation. Heavy reliance on fossil aquifers and energy-intensive desalination threatens food security, increases costs, and stresses the environment. Current solutions, including precision irrigation tools and city-scale digital twins, remain siloed, hardware-heavy, and cannot provide a national-scale view.

Durra.ai addresses this urgent need by targeting the largest source of water waste and building a system that scales from farm-level improvements to national intelligence.

Our Solution

AI-Powered Smart Irrigation & National Water Twin

Durra.ai combines satellite imagery, IoT sensors, weather forecasts, and farmer input to provide actionable irrigation advice.

Phase 1 – Smart Irrigation

  • Delivers crop-specific recommendations to farmers.

  • Reduces over-watering and energy use.

  • Improves yields by 20–30% while saving 20–40% of water.

  • Generates Saudi-specific datasets to strengthen AI models.

Phase 2 – National Digital Twin of Water

  • Integrates aquifers, desalination, wastewater reuse, and urban demand.

  • Provides predictive analytics and “what-if” simulations for policymakers.

  • Enables system-wide planning, reduces reliance on costly desalination, and creates a national intelligence layer.
