“…These tankas are small tanks, often built inside the courtyards of houses, and are used to collect and store rainwater for drinking and irrigation purposes [10]. Another notable practice is the 'Ahar-Pyne' system in Bihar, an indigenous floodwater harvesting method.…”

The evolution and impact of water conservation techniques in Indian agriculture, underlining their vital role in fostering sustainable resource management amidst increasing global water scarcity. It begins by exploring traditional water management practices, illuminating their historical relevance and the constraints they face in meeting contemporary agricultural demands. The focus then shifts to modern water conservation methods, including technological advancements in irrigation, such as drip irrigation, sprinkler systems, and subsurface irrigation, alongside agronomic practices like crop rotation, soil moisture management, and mulching, which collectively enhance water efficiency. It explores into the crucial influence of technology and innovation in Indian agriculture, spotlighting precision agriculture with a particular emphasis on sensors and IoT for water management, remote sensing, satellite imagery, and data-driven methodologies incorporating AI, machine learning, and decision support systems. Additionally, it investigates cutting-edge solutions like hydrogel technology for soil water retention and solar-powered irrigation systems. The review also addresses the significance of supportive policy frameworks, community-oriented water management strategies, and the role of education and awareness, highlighting government initiatives, international collaborations, NGO involvement, and farmer training programs. Regional case studies are presented to analyze the effects of these water conservation practices on sustainability and productivity, offering insights into lessons learned and the potential for replication. Lastly, the review identifies and discusses the challenges and barriers to implementation, encompassing economic and financial limitations, technological and infrastructural gaps, social and cultural obstacles, and environmental considerations. Ultimately, this review emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that synergistically integrates technology, policy, community engagement, and education, crucial for advancing water conservation in Indian agriculture and ensuring its sustainability and resilience amidst diverse environmental and socio-economic challenges.

Water is a basic source for sustaining our life and environment. Rainwater harvesting has been adopted for a long time and has given a positive impact on our life, agriculture as well as economy. Pressure on water resources will be intensified by climate change. Scarcity of water in Pakistan is a major problem now days for the people. Water from the ground is mostly used in all rural and urban areas of Pakistan; this is a possible reason behind declining of groundwater day by day. RWH technique has been implemented slowly by Pakistani population. Rainwater can be easily collected by using existing structures such as large-sized rooftops, playgrounds, ponds and parks. The Rainwater harvesting practice is quite clean and quality of rainwater compare to groundwater is strongly preferable for many domestic purposes. In this present study, the RWH capability of Engro Limited Fertilizer is calculated for rooftops of warehouses with the help of using ‘‘Google Earth Pro’’ and ‘‘ArcGIS 10.8’’. With an average quantity of annual rainfall in Nawabshah city i.e. 194.855 mm (7.671 inches) within the period (2010 to 2021). Nawabshah is the most suitable city for the practice of rainwater harvesting. The estimated quantity of runoff from rooftops of warehouses of Engro Limited Fertilizer comes out to be 2055466 liters. It is inferred that RWH is the best practical strategy to deflect the present and future water disasters in Pakistan.
