Date: Thursday, 16 April, 2026, 14:30 hrs (IST)

Topic: Bringing Together Technology, Innovation & People to Enhance Water Efficiency

Bringing together technology, innovation, and people is essential to enhancing water-use efficiency in a rapidly changing world. Advanced technologies such as remote sensing, smart irrigation systems, and data analytics enable precise monitoring, management of water resources, and reducing wastage and improving productivity. At the same time, innovation drives the development of sustainable practices, policies, and tools that adapt to local needs and environmental challenges. Moreover, the true impact of these advancements is realized only when people—farmers, communities, researchers, and policymakers—actively participate and collaborate in agricultural water management. By fostering awareness, capacity building, and inclusive decision-making, this integrated approach ensures that water is used more efficiently, equitably, and sustainably for present and future generations.

Introduction

Welcome to our webinar on Smart Irrigation Management! In today's world, where water scarcity and climate change are pressing concerns, optimizing irrigation practices is crucial for sustainable agriculture. Smart irrigation management offers a solution by leveraging advanced technologies to deliver the right amount of water at the right time, improving crop yields and reducing waste.

Internet of Things (IoT), smartphone tools, and sensors are technologies that further enable farmers to know the exact status of their field, including soil temperature, amount of water required, weather conditions etc. The use of sensors is also important for farmers to better understand their crops, reduce the environmental impacts and conserve resources. Therefore, by the usage of SMART agriculture, farmers are given the opportunity to produce yields while using fewer resources, such as fertilizers, water, and seeds.
