Irrigation accounts for ~70% of global freshwater withdrawals and ~90% of consumptive water use, driving myriad Earth system impacts. In this Review, we summarize how irrigation currently impacts key components of the Earth system. Estimates suggest that more than 3.6 million km2 of currently...

Agricultural intensification in the Northwestern Indo-Gangetic Plain (NWIGP), a critical food bowl supporting millions of people, is leading to groundwater depletion and soil health degradation. This is primarily driven by conventional cultivation practices in the rice–wheat (RW) cropping system, whic...
the quantity of water that must be supplied to crops throughout the growing season. The irrigation requirement compensates for the shortage in the water balance per hectare of sown crop—that is, the difference between the total water consumption (expenditure of water on plant transpiration and ev...
This study analyzed the uniformity of water distribution and estimated water losses for the center pivot irrigation system, using a double row of catch can in the morning, midday and late afternoon. For this purposes multiple linear regression models were developed using the Software package for ...

. For instance, in Dec 2022, China and Pakistan had a meeting and visited the Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources R&D Farm Sial More with the objective of identifying and finalizing a pilot site for the design and installation of IoT-based smart irrigation and fertigation system....
A smart, intelligent, and fully automated agricultural system was required and extremely desirable in some last decades when our population grew exponentially in comparison to the natural resources we have in our country, Pakistan. For this purpose, an IoT-based smart watering system has been ...
or grains. Especially if previous irrigation with untreated wastewater has led to a strong accumulation of pollutants in soils so that a “window of increased risk” is conceivable, monitoring the quality of produced plants is advisable until a new equilibration of the irrigation system is reached....
