Sustainable Smart Irrigation Leveraging Smart Technologies for Improved Water Efficiency- A Review

One of the major issues in modern agriculture is the availability of water resources and hence the pressing need to come up with conservation measures that seek to enhance crop productivity. This review gives an insight into modern; smart irrigation technologies including soil moisture sensors, weather-based controllers, as well as Internet of Things-based systems which have been developed to advance water management through improved accuracy in irrigation. Through assessing the effectiveness, affordability, and extendibility of these technologies as outlined in this review, it has identified a significant indication of improvement in crop yields alongside a progressive conservation of water. The information presented in this paper is a valuable guide to future investments and developments in smart irrigation as a tool to respond to the world's agriculture problems in the context of tightening environmental conditions.
