Water-Saving Technology in Irrigation

Abstract:

Water is a vital natural resource, which is becoming increasingly scarce around the world. The balance between water availability and demand has reached critical levels in many regions due to water demand increasing, and availability diminishing through drought and over-extraction. Water resources have been very important to us human beings since our ancient society. And the use of water in irrigation is a momentous part. Effective and productive irrigation requires the most appropriate water application strategies that take soil, climate, and farming operations into account. In addition to this, inputs used must be applied to where it is required without giving any harmful effects to the environment. In this study, we took a comprehensive consideration of the related records, summarized the methods of water-saving technology in the world for need.
