Abstract

Water scarcity is a critical challenge facing agriculture, exacerbated by climate change, population growth, and competing demands from various sectors. Precision irrigation technologies offer promising solutions for improving water use efficiency and optimizing crop yields while minimizing environmental impacts. This paper reviews the principles and applications of precision irrigation systems, including drip irrigation, sprinkler systems, and soil moisture sensors. It discusses the benefits of precision irrigation in reducing water waste, energy consumption, and nutrient leaching, as well as enhancing crop productivity and resilience to water stress. The paper also explores challenges and opportunities for the widespread adoption of precision irrigation practices in agriculture.
