Irrigation and Water Management
Irrigation and water management refer to the techniques and practices used to supply water to crops and manage water resources effectively. In agriculture, irrigation systems help ensure that plants receive the right amount of water, especially in drier areas. Effective water management involves planning and controlling water use to conserve resources, maintain soil health, and improve crop yields. This is crucial for agricultural and rural development, as it supports food production, enhances livelihoods, and promotes sustainable practices, ensuring that communities have enough water for farming while protecting the environment.
