Collecting and storing rainwater for agricultural use to reduce dependency on groundwater. Implemented by using gutters, storage tanks, and recharge pits.

Plowing and planting across a slope following its elevation contour lines. Helps in reducing runoff and soil erosion, implemented by mapping topography and aligning planting accordingly.

Creating stepped terraces on slopes to reduce water runoff and soil erosion. Implemented by building a series of flat areas with retaining walls on steep landscapes.

Using sensors to measure soil moisture levels to optimize irrigation schedules. Implemented by installing sensors at various depths and locations in the field.

Growing plants to cover soil when the main crops are not in season, reducing soil erosion and retaining moisture. Implementation involves selecting appropriate cover crop species and planting during off-seasons.

Applying a layer of material on top of soil to reduce evaporation and weed growth. Typically implemented using organic matter like straw or inorganic matter like plastic sheets.

Delivering water directly to the root zone of plants, minimizing evaporation and runoff. Implemented through a network of valves, tubes, and emitters.

Moving livestock between pastures to allow vegetation recovery and reduce water and soil depletion. Implemented by dividing larger pastures into smaller paddocks.

Utilizing lightly used water from sinks, showers, and washing machines for irrigation. Implemented by separating greywater from blackwater and using safe treatment and distribution systems.
