Technological Approaches for Water Saving in Agriculture

Water is nectar for life. It enriches plants with important minerals, salts and, most importantly, water itself. According to a study by the National Geophysical Research Institute, the largest depletion of groundwater in the world is happening in India, according to estimates, water scarcity can lead to loss of up to 6% of GDP by 2030. In coming years, Indian agriculture will need more water to produce enough food to satisfy changing needs of future. On the other hand, actual availability of water will reduce and supply is projected at just half by the end of 2030.
