Applying a layer of material on the surface of the soil can reduce evaporation and conserve soil moisture.

Strips of vegetation planted between fields and water bodies that act as filters for runoff, reducing pollution and erosion.

Applying water below crop water requirements, encouraging deeper root systems and efficient water use without significant yield loss.

Creating terraces on sloped land to reduce runoff and increase water infiltration, leading to more efficient water use in agriculture.

Any method of soil cultivation that leaves the previous year's crop residue on fields to reduce soil erosion and runoff.

Planting certain crops to cover soil, which can prevent evaporation, retain moisture, and reduce the need for irrigation.

Integrating trees and shrubs into crop and animal farming systems to create environmental benefits and more sustainable land use.

The practice of alternating crops in a field over successive seasons, which can enhance soil structure and moisture retention.

Practices aimed at controlling salt levels in soil to ensure healthy crop growth and prevent water quality degradation.

Choosing crop species that require less water or are better adapted to local water availability.

Intentional flooding of fields at specific times to promote soil moisture recharge and manage salinity.

Collection and storage of rainwater for agricultural use, reducing reliance on groundwater and minimizing runoff.

A system that delivers water directly to the base of a plant to minimize evaporation losses and promote efficient water use.

Instruments used to measure the moisture content in soil, helping to optimize irrigation schedules and conserve water.

Use of laser-guided equipment to level fields, which improves water distribution and reduces water waste in irrigation.

Using weather data, soil moisture levels, and crop requirements to determine the most effective irrigation times and amounts.

A type of drip irrigation where the irrigation lines are buried below the soil surface, further reducing evaporation losses.

Deliberately recharging groundwater aquifers with surface water to restore supply and prevent over-extraction.

Capturing water from fog using large nets or other surfaces, which can then be used for irrigation in arid regions where fog is common.

Created or restored wetlands that provide water treatment by filtering out pollutants through natural processes.

Relying primarily on natural rainfall for crop production, which requires careful crop and variety selection to match local conditions.

Using solar energy to power irrigation systems, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and electricity for sustainable water delivery.

Using technology such as GPS, sensors, and data analytics to optimize field management and crop farming, including water use.

A practice where fields are intermittently flooded and then dried, which can improve soil structure and increase nutrient availability.

Growing crops inside controlled, sheltered environments to optimize water use and reduce environmental stresses on plants.

Plowing along the contours of the land to create furrows that trap water and reduce soil erosion.

An irrigation method that involves low-flow water delivery directly to the plant root zone, improving efficiency and reducing waste.

Process of removing salt from seawater or brackish water to create fresh water suitable for crop irrigation and other agricultural needs.

A comprehensive approach that considers the interconnectivity between water usage in agriculture, communities, and ecosystems.
