Water is present in everything we eat. It often goes unseen, yet it is essential for growing, processing, transporting, and preparing every ingredient that reaches our tables. From a cup of coffee to a fresh salad or a plate of rice, water is at the heart of global gastronomy. Today, in an increasingly interconnected world, this relationship between water and food takes on new dimensions, ...
Water is the lifeline of agriculture. Its quality plays a pivotal role in crop health, yield, and overall farm productivity. However, one of the most persistent threats to agricultural water sources is algal blooms. These can severely degrade water quality. Hence, achieving algae-free waterbodies is a necessity. Harmful algal blooms (HABs) occur when algae colonies grow uncontrollably in fresh ...
In modern agriculture, efficient water management is a cornerstone of productivity and sustainability. An irrigation system pump plays a critical role in ensuring that crops receive adequate water, enabling farmers to optimize yields and conserve resources. However, maintaining efficient water distribution across ...
This article explores how water quality sensors have revolutionized agricultural water management, enabling farmers to enhance water-use efficiency, crop yield, and quality while minimizing environmental impacts. Optimizing Agricultural Water Management through ...
IWMI’s Sidra Khalid and Najeeb Ullah won this year’s Transformative Research Challenge hosted by the World Food Forum Interviewed by Samurdhi Ranasinghe, Senior Communications Officer, IWMI IWMI’s very own Sidra Khalid, Senior Research Officer – Gender and Social Inclusion, and Najeeb Ullah, Monitoring Evaluation and Learning Specialist, recently won the special prize at ...
Patrick: GroGuru is all about strategic water management for commercial farmers. We help farmers make more money by increasing crop yield as well as more efficiently using water and other scarce resources like fertilizer and energy in a more efficient and sustainable way. ...

Agricultural water resources are scarce in Iran, and agricultural water management is essential to overcome this limitation. Determination of the water productivity index (WP) using the methods of optimization of cropping patterns and optimal water allocation is the most ...
Accurately estimating crop evapotranspiration (ET) is essential for agricultural water management in arid and semiarid croplands. This study developed extreme learning machine (ELM) and generalized regression neural network (GRNN) models for maize ET estimation on the China Loess Plateau. ...
Agriculture is fundamentally susceptible to access to water during critical crop germination and growth periods. ...
In this context, relevant and significant experiences of other countries in the world facing similar challenges are also considered (Sachdeva, 2009). The literature pertaining to water management policies is examined to better understand the processes and the experiences of water management reform in these countries and the ...
This book looks at Sustainable Irrigation in a holistic way, considering the multidisciplinary objectives of sustainable agriculture, sustainable water management, sustainable water infrastructure, sustainable irrigation communities and a sustainable environment, the need to reallocate water between competing ...
Accurate crop development models are important tools in evaluating the effects of water deficits on crop yield or productivity. The FAO AquaCrop model predicts crop productivity, water requirement, and water use efficiency (WUE) under water-limiting conditions. ...
Conservation tillage is a commonly adopted best management practice for reducing runoff and erosion, and increasing infiltration. ...
