Agriculture - Using water harvesting to irrigate land

Fog Harvesting Device, Peru

• The amount of water used to irrigate crops is expected to increase in future, regardless of any trend in climate. Therefore, we need to establish a sustainable water industry: This will be achieved through efficient provision of water and waste-water services and a commitment to:
  • Responding to climate change
  • Reducing impacts on the environment
  
•  As fresh water resources are increasingly strained by agricultural and industrial usage, water conservation has become more and more important.Practices that conserve water and maximize its use are more and more important in agriculture and include recycling water, reducing waste and helping plants make the most of the water available to them.
• Delivering precious clean tap water requires more and more effort, energy and expense, and for irrigation we simply don't need to use purified drinking mains water. Harvesting rain water is another free resource to use and is perfect for automated watering irrigaion systems, landscape irrigation, lawn irrigation, domestic and commercial irrigation.
