Climate Smart Agriculture and Intelligent Irrigation System for Management of Water Resources in Arid and Semi-Arid Regions – A Review
Most of the impacts of climate change on agriculture are expected to result from changes in the water cycle. Because of this, the design of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) strategies will need to be viewed through a ‘water lens’. Climate change will affect both rainfed and irrigated agriculture through increased crop evapotranspiration, changes in the amount of rainfall, and variations in river runoff and groundwater recharge. The impact of climate change on water use in agriculture must be considered within a wider context in which a number of issues are taken into account including: increased water demand from all sectors; the degradation of water quality and heightened competition for water at various levels (community, river basin and aquifer). Climate change adaptation in the water sector includes a range of response options related to policies, investments, water management, institutional and technical factors. These options will need to be applied at different scales: on fields and farms; in irrigation schemes in watersheds or aquifers in river basins and at the national level. Therefore, it can be concluded that addressing the problem of water scarcity in across the globe would require the adjustment of irrigation practices. The aim of this scientific paper is to shed light on the new irrigation systems, how they can be applied, and what their benefits are.
