“Improving Agricultural Water Management: Why and How?”
Abstract: This presentation reviews the use of water for agricultural production, highlights its impact on the quantity and quality of water resources for other users, and discusses some of the recent advances in optimizing the management of this critical resources using sensor and model-based technologies. With advances in sensors, availability of cell phones and apps, and internet access in rural areas, there are tremendous opportunities to improve agricultural water management and minimize its environmental effects using these technologies.
