Sector:
It contributes to sustainable water resource management by optimizing agricultural irrigation, reducing unnecessary water consumption and pressure on surface water and groundwater sources. It promotes soil moisture conservation, minimizes water losses from overirrigation, and may reduce energy consumption associated with water pumping. Additionally, it helps prevent nutrient leaching, reduce the risk of water resource contamination, and strengthen the adaptation of agricultural systems to drought and climate variability.
