Introduction Water scarcity is one of the biggest challenges facing global agriculture. With increasing population growth and climate change, freshwater resources are depleting at an alarming rate. Desalination, the process of removing salts and impurities from seawater and brackish water, offers a potential solution to this crisis. While traditionally used for drinking water, desalination is…
Introduction Water scarcity has become a major challenge in agriculture, affecting productivity and food security. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) offers a sustainable solution by capturing and storing rainwater for irrigation and other farming needs. This method is particularly vital in regions where water resources are limited or unreliable. Implementing rainwater harvesting can help farmers optimize water…
Introduction Water scarcity is a significant challenge in Indian agriculture, making efficient irrigation methods crucial. Drip irrigation and other micro-irrigation technologies have emerged as sustainable solutions to optimize water usage and improve crop productivity. These methods ensure that water is delivered directly to the roots of plants, minimizing wastage and enhancing efficiency. This article delves…
