An irrigation method where water is applied below the soil surface. Benefits include reduced evaporation and interference with surface activities, and efficient water use.

Application of a layer of material on the surface of soil. Benefits include moisture conservation, improved soil fertility, and temperature regulation.

The collection and storage of rainwater for agricultural use. Benefits include reducing dependency on groundwater and providing water during dry spells.

A practice of growing different types of crops in the same area in sequenced seasons. Benefits include improved soil fertility and reduced soil erosion.

A tillage system that involves planting crops on ridges formed during cultivation. Benefits include better water drainage and reduced soil erosion.

The process of determining the appropriate times and quantities of water application. Benefits include efficient water use, prevention of water stress, and reduced energy costs.

A strategy by which water supply is reduced below maximum levels and crops are subjected to a certain level of water deficit. Benefits include water savings and potentially enhanced crop quality.

Plowing along the contours of the land, as opposed to plowing downhill. Benefits include reduced runoff, increased water infiltration, and decreased soil erosion.

A type of micro-irrigation system that aims to conserve water by delivering it directly to the roots of plants. Benefits include improved water efficiency and reduced evaporation losses.
