Sustainable Water Resource Management for Agriculture and Climate Change

Abstract

This study summarizes current challenges related to the increasing water demand caused by climate change and population growth, identifying focus areas for sustainable water resource management. The distribution of water needs among agriculture, industry, and drinking water (70%, 20%, and 10%) highlights the critical role of agricultural water use in water quality and security. The potential for geothermal and other alternative resources in regions where high-quality water resources are limited is discussed, and the impact of climate change on groundwater reserves and droughts on agricultural production are discussed. Using the water footprint concept, it emphasizes the need to implement efficient irrigation techniques such as drip and sprinkler irrigation to monitor and reduce the total amount of water used in production processes. This study discusses sustainable water resource management, climate change, the effects of climate change on agriculture, and agricultural irrigation practices, and provides recommendations for efficient water use in agriculture.
