**InHydro** is a precision agriculture service designed to optimize irrigation
planning through accurate water balance estimation.

By integrating weather data, including historical records from ERA5, future
climate projections, or user-provided datasets, InHydro calculates crop water
needs using scientifically validated methods based on the FAO-56 guidelines.

InHydro delivers tailored irrigation recommendations that enable farmers and
agronomists to make data-driven decisions, conserve water resources, and enhance
crop productivity across diverse agricultural environments.

Key benefits
------------

- **Optimized water usage**  
  By running simulations, farmers can explore multiple farming scenarios such as
  different planting dates and crop types to identify the most water-efficient
  irrigation strategy.

- **Data-driven decisions**  
  Reliable climate and field data support informed agricultural planning.

- **Environmental impact**  
  Sustainable water use protects natural resources and reduces the agricultural
  footprint.

- **Customizable inputs**  
  Users can provide their own weather data or climate projections to tailor
  recommendations to local conditions.
