“…By having agriculture areas (oil palm plantation) located adjacent to the mangrove area, proper irrigation system is a must to achieve equilibrium between irrigation and waste management related to the agricultural plantation. Many studies on increasing and managing irrigation efficiency at the global stage are available (Ahadi et al, 2013;Valipour, 2014(a); Valipour, 2014(b); Canone et al, 2015;Tang et al, 2015;Bhalage et al, 2015). In many areas of the world, water resources are limited and irrigation is not economical (Valipour, 2013).…”

“…Although much has been written about innovations in irrigation systems [12,13], little is known about innovations in drainage systems. As we already know from the diffusion of innovations theory, change agents play a crucial role by acting as a facilitator of the flow of innovations to potential adopters [1].…”

Adoption of innovations, including adoption of conservation practices, is a topic of extensive scholarly enterprise. The diffusion of innovations literature has often examined the characteristics of three sets of variables: the adopter, the change agent, and the innovation. This literature clearly establishes the crucial role of change agents in promoting an innovation. However, what we don't know is what makes change agents want to promote a particular innovation. In this study, change agents' perceptions of the attributes of two-stage drainage ditches, an innovative agricultural drainage ditch design, are examined in order to understand what affects their willingness to promote them. Diffusion of innovation theory provides the conceptual grounding as well as the theoretical motivation for this study. The data for this study come from semi-structured interviews with 17 change agents. Results suggest that change agents perceive the relative advantage associated with two-stage ditches to be low, and that two-stage ditches might be perceived by potential adopters to be incompatible with the prevalent sociocultural beliefs about drainage ditch management. Results also indicate that change agents' perceptions of environmental benefits of adopting two-stage ditches affects their willingness to promote them. Results are more broadly informative about promoting conservation practices, and is relevant for both academicians and practitioners.

“…Irrigation is a process that has been followed for thousands of years and has undergone several changes and refinements. Supplying the appropriate amount of water to the crop at the appropriate time requires a complexity of irrigation techniques or irrigation management [3,4]. Water use efficiency (WUE) and better yield are the key factors for effective irrigation management application (FAO 2001); this is an important and essential issue to be resolved as the demand to feed the exponentially growing population is high [5][6][7].…”

The increase in population growth and demand is rapidly depleting natural resources. Irrigation plays a vital role in the productivity and growth of agriculture, consuming no less than 75% of fresh water utilization globally. Irrigation, being the largest consumer of water across the globe, needs refinements in its process, and because it is implemented by individuals (farmers), the use of water for irrigation is not effective. To enhance irrigation management, farmers need to keep track of information such as soil type, climatic conditions, available water resources, soil pH, soil nutrients, and soil moisture to make decisions that resolve or prevent agricultural complexity. Irrigation, a data-driven technology, requires the integration of emerging technologies and modern methodologies to provide solutions to the complex problems faced by agriculture. The paper is an overview of IoT-enabled modern technologies through which irrigation management can be elevated. This paper presents the evolution of irrigation and IoT, factors to be considered for effective irrigation, the need for effective irrigation optimization, and how dynamic irrigation optimization would help reduce water use. The paper also discusses the different IoT architecture and deployment models, sensors, and controllers used in the agriculture field, available cloud platforms for IoT, prominent tools or software used for irrigation scheduling and water need prediction, and machine learning and neural network models for irrigation. Convergence of the tools, technologies and approaches helps in the development of better irrigation management applications. Access to real-time data, such as weather, plant and soil data, must be enhanced for the development of effective irrigation management applications.
