Freshwater resources are depleting day by day. Increasing population is demanding more and more of this exhaustible resource. Water conservation is hence an issue of utmost concern. The sources of fresh water are limited to Rivers, Lakes, Wetlands and groundwater. For many decades, we have been consuming water from all these sources to grow our food. Nevertheless, there are many instances of huge loss in agriculture due to droughts, floods, and water scarcity in many forms.
Greatest boon to rescue agriculture from water scarcity is drip irrigation. The invention of drip irrigation in Israel has created a new revolution in agriculture, and increased the productivity dramatically. Now, with advance in Internet and communication, efficiency of field irrigation can further be improved.
