Crop rotation involves alternating the type of crop grown in a particular area from one season to the next. It can lead to increased soil fertility and moisture, reducing the need for irrigation and conserving water.

Deficit irrigation involves deliberately allowing crops to sustain a certain level of water deficit (without causing significant harm to the crop yield) to promote more efficient water use and reduce overall water consumption.

Cover crops are planted during off-seasons to protect and improve the soil. They help to reduce soil erosion, increase soil moisture retention, and decrease water runoff, thus augmenting water conservation.

Laser land leveling is a precision farming technique that uses laser-guided equipment to create a level field. This uniformity reduces water wastage by ensuring even irrigation distribution and reducing runoff.

Conservation tillage is a farming practice that leaves the previous year's crop residue on the field to reduce soil erosion and water loss. This method preserves soil moisture and reduces the need for water in subsequent irrigation.

Mulching involves covering the soil with organic materials like straw or inorganic materials like plastic. It helps in reducing evaporation, maintaining soil moisture, suppressing weed growth, and consequently reducing the amount of irrigation water needed.

Rainwater harvesting captures and stores rainwater for agricultural use. This can reduce reliance on groundwater or surface water sources, provide a more sustainable water supply, and minimize soil erosion and nutrient runoff.

Drip irrigation involves the slow delivery of water directly to the soil around the roots of plants. This reduces evaporation and runoff, ensuring that water is used efficiently and reducing the total water needed for crop growth.

Soil moisture sensors measure the moisture content in the soil, providing data to automate and optimize irrigation schedules. This technology ensures that crops receive the right amount of water at the right time, avoiding over-irrigation.
