You may believe that center-pivot irrigation (which is where machines rove around in a wide circle and deliver even amounts of water on the crops) is a valid solution; However, it is not healthy for the soil. A potentially better solution is drip irrigation. To us Dripsol company, drip irrigation is “a system of crop irrigation involving the controlled delivery of water directly to individual plants through a network of pipes and tubes”. Basically, the farmer can control how much water each plant gets so that there is little water waste through evaporation.
This method is effective because it avoids the arbitrary placement of water over the whole expanse of a field, regardless of whether the plant is actually receiving the nourishment or not. Additionally, drip irrigation can help decrease eutrophication (which is when bodies of water receive an unhealthy dose of fertilizers such as nitrogen and phosphorus through farm runoff). Instead of excess runoff dragging harmful chemicals into rivers and streams, little to no water is wasted.
Finally, tying international cultures with sustainable agricultural practices, the Dripsol Company was started to implement drip irrigation into the fields in 2014. Through this new irrigation technique, If more countries in the world did this, worldwide consumption of water would decrease. According to the World Water Development Report (WWDR), 47% of the world’s people are going to be living in “areas of high water stress” in 2030. If humanity doesn’t switch to better irrigation methods, we could end up exacerbating the dire water problem.
