Managed Aquifer Recharge
Benefits include increased groundwater levels, improved water quality, and drought mitigation. Implementation methods include spreading basins, injection wells, and aquifer storage and recovery systems.
Drip Irrigation
Benefits include water conservation, reduced weed growth, and targeted plant watering. Implementation methods include laying out drip lines, installing emitters, and setting up a control system.
Irrigation Scheduling
Benefits include optimized water use, reduced energy costs, and increased crop yields. Implementation methods include using soil moisture sensors, weather data, and crop water demand calculations.
Rainwater Harvesting
Benefits include reduced dependency on municipal water, groundwater replenishment, and cost savings. Implementation methods involve installing catchment systems, storage tanks, and filtration units.
Terracing
Benefits include reduced erosion, improved water absorption, and enhanced crop yields. Implementation methods include constructing stepped terraces on slopes, establishing proper drainage, and selecting appropriate vegetation.
Agroforestry
Benefits include improved biodiversity, better water cycle management, and economic diversification. Implementation methods involve integrating trees with crop and livestock farming systems.
Cover Cropping
Benefits include soil fertility enhancement, erosion prevention, and water retention. Implementation methods include planting of legumes or grains during off-seasons.
Crop Rotation
Benefits include soil nutrient management, reduction of pests and diseases, and improved water use efficiency. Implementation methods involve alternating crops in a sequence over a number of growing seasons.
Mulching
Benefits include moisture retention, soil temperature regulation, and weed control. Implementation methods involve spreading organic or inorganic material over the soil surface.
Conservation Tillage
Benefits include reduced soil erosion, better moisture conservation, and lower fuel consumption. Implementation methods include no-till, minimum tillage, or reduced-till practices.
