“…Precision agriculture is a promising technology that can help farmers achieve their objectives while promoting sustainable agriculture practices (Durugkar & Poonia, 2018). The adoption of innovative irrigation systems is on the rise, with the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, data analytics, and mobile applications to facilitate remote monitoring and control of irrigation operations (Keswani et al, 2019;Laphatphakkhanut et al, 2020;Obaideen et al, 2022;Anagha et al, 2023). The implementation of such systems has been found to facilitate real-time access to data, offer timely alerts, and empower farmers to make informed decisions regarding irrigation scheduling.…”

Groundwater plays a vital role in global water resources, supporting agricultural, industrial, and domestic water supply systems. However, the long-term sustainability of groundwater is increasingly threatened due to the widespread adoption of irrigation systems especially micro irrigation. Micro irrigation is a widespread agricultural technique that involves water application to crops through drip irrigation and sprinkler systems. This method has gained widespread adoption due to its ability to deliver water efficiently to crops. This review paper examines the impacts of micro irrigation on groundwater sustainability, focusing on its effects on groundwater quantity, quality, and overall sustainability. The findings reveal that micro irrigation can significantly contribute to groundwater conservation by reducing water losses. However, improper management practices, such as over-irrigation or incorrect application rates, can lead to excessive groundwater extraction, depletion of aquifers, and declining water tables. Applying fertilizers and pesticides in micro irrigation systems may lead to groundwater pollution, thereby affecting water quality and posing a risk to human health. This review article emphasizes the significance of appropriate design, installation, and upkeep of micro irrigation systems to minimize potential adverse effects on groundwater. Furthermore, regulatory frameworks, policies, and educational programs are crucial in promoting sustainable groundwater management practices in micro irrigation. The present review highlights the significance of adopting balanced water use practices, enhancing water management techniques, and implementing relevant regulations to ensure the sustainable utilization of groundwater resources in micro irrigation systems.

“…Numerous research studies have also investigated the potential of IoT technologies for precision irrigation, which aims to apply water only where and when it is needed [18,24,31,[34][35][36][37]. These systems use sensor data and other information to generate irrigation maps that indicate areas of the field that need more or less water.…”

This article presents a low-cost irrigation system that harnesses the power of IoT technologies to revolutionize water management practices and enhance agricultural productivity. The system uses soil moisture sensors, climate sensors, and temperature sensors that communicate with a central controlling mechanism. The data collected from the sensors is handled with the help of machine learning algorithms to make automated decisions about irrigation. This system is useful for small-scale farmers who lack access to expensive irrigation technology. The system has undergone field trials and has shown encouraging results. The soil moisture sensors have an average error rate of below 5%, saying that the system can precisely recognize soil moisture levels. The crops grown with the smart irrigation system had a 10% greater yield than the control group, and the system was able to limit water usage by up to 30% in comparison to tradition irrigation techniques. The potential effects of the low-cost smart irrigation system on food security and agriculture in developing countries must be taken into consideration. As water resources become more expensive and scarcer, technology can change irrigation practices and enhance the development of sustainable agriculture. To adapt the system to the unique requirements of small farmers in various regions and to examine the practicality of scaling it up for wider application, more research and development are needed. All things could be done with the low-cost smart irrigation system.
