| Summary: | [EN] In 2014 FAO ordered Tragsatec the design and development of a decision making tool for locating potential areas to be put under irrigation in Argentina. During the first phase, there was a proposal of some goals and indicators based on the sustainability of 5 key issues (technical-agronomic, environmental, economic, social and institutional). After the collection of maps, tables and studies sent from Argentina, these data were treated to be used as a material capable of establishing a prioritization for the development of irrigation based on a potential rate of irrigation (IPR). This rate is a number between 0 and 1 which has been used to set a common legend as much for the source raster layers as for the resulting maps. Once the tool functionality in an Arcmap interface was checked, all 5 thematic layer crosses were carried on to assess the relevance of the results. Subsequently, multi-criteria combinations were tested too. To conclude, a series of conclusions and recommendations on the use of a multiparameter computer tool for irrigation planning are anticipated.
