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

Planting strips of vegetation between crops and waterways to intercept pollutants and manage water runoff. Implemented by strategically placing perennial vegetation to protect water quality.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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