Rotational Grazing

StarStarStarStar

Managing livestock to graze in a way that prevents overuse of water resources, implemented by rotating animals through different pastures.

StarStarStarStar

Contour Farming

StarStarStarStar

Conserves water by planting crops across the slope of the land to reduce runoff, implemented by plowing along contour lines.

StarStarStarStar

Soil Mulching

StarStarStarStar

Conserves water by reducing evaporation from soil surface, implemented by covering soil with organic or inorganic mulch materials.

StarStarStarStar

Variable Rate Irrigation

StarStarStarStar

Saves water by applying variable amounts of water based on specific field conditions, implemented using advanced irrigation systems and technology.

StarStarStarStar

Cover Crops

StarStarStarStar

Reduces soil erosion and runoff, leading to better water retention; implemented by planting specific crops during off-season.

StarStarStarStar

Rainwater Harvesting

StarStarStarStar

Collects and stores rainwater for later use, reducing reliance on groundwater; implemented by installing catchment systems like barrels or cisterns.

StarStarStarStar

Deficit Irrigation

StarStarStarStar

Involves watering plants less than full crop water requirements, implemented via precise irrigation scheduling and monitoring.

StarStarStarStar

Raised Bed Gardening

StarStarStarStar

Improves drainage and water retention in soil, implemented by creating elevated rows of soil with walkways in between.

StarStarStarStar

Drip Irrigation

StarStarStarStar

Reduces evaporation by delivering water directly to plant roots, implemented by installing a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters.

StarStarStarStar

Subsurface Drip Irrigation

StarStarStarStar

Minimizes evaporation by delivering water below the soil surface, implemented with subsurface drip tubing installed beneath the soil.
