“…In adherence to the PRISMA guidelines, a total of 60 research articles were identified and chosen, a process outlined in the form of the flowchart depicted in Figure 1. In the process of selection, we applied exclusion criteria similar to those utilized in recent review studies [5,[34][35][36]. The notable increase in published research concerning the utilization of geospatial technology in agricultural water management in India signifies the achievement of a distinct level of expertise in this domain.…”

“…To align with these objectives, it is imperative to systematically and scientifically redesign agricultural policies and programs. This redesign should aim to incentivize sustainable agricultural practices and enhance food security, ensuring the harmonious integration of ecological and economic principles for long-term agricultural viability [34]. Finding appropriate solutions for agricultural water management is crucial, particularly in countries anticipating population growth and increased production and consumption.…”

Effective management of water resources is crucial for sustainable development in any region. When considering computer-aided analysis for resource management, geospatial technology, i.e., the use of remote sensing (RS) combined with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) proves to be highly valuable. Geospatial technology is more cost-effective and requires less labor compared to ground-based surveys, making it highly suitable for a wide range of agricultural applications. Effectively utilizing the timely, accurate, and objective data provided by RS technologies presents a crucial challenge in the field of water resource management. Satellite-based RS measurements offer consistent information on agricultural and hydrological conditions across extensive land areas. In this study, we carried out a detailed analysis focused on addressing agricultural water management issues in India through the application of RS and GIS technologies. Adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, we systematically reviewed published research articles, providing a comprehensive and detailed analysis. This study aims to explore the use of RS and GIS technologies in crucial agricultural water management practices with the goal of enhancing their effectiveness and efficiency. This study primarily examines the current use of geospatial technology in Indian agricultural water management and sustainability. We revealed that considerable research has primarily used multispectral Landsat series data. Cutting-edge technologies like Sentinel, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and hyperspectral technology have not been fully investigated for the assessment and monitoring of water resources. Integrating RS and GIS allows for consistent agricultural monitoring, offering valuable recommendations for effective management.

“…Approximately 7.60 M ha of shifting agriculture, or jhum cultivation, is performed in India's eastern and northeastern areas (Bhat et al, 2022). Because of the diminished jhum cycle brought on by strain from a growing human population, significant soil erosion, low productivity, and loss of soil fertility, shifting farming has become unsustainable (Markose and Jayappa, 2016).…”

“…Deforestation or tree cover loss (2.07 M ha) from 2001 to 2021 (Global Forest Watch, 2022), intensive rainfall (>7.5 mm ha -1 ), uncontrolled grazing in 5. 65 M ha (Down To Earth, 2019), indiscriminate use (32 MT year -1 ) of fertilizers (Fertilizer Association of India, 2021), and shifting cultivation in 7.6 M ha (Bhat et al, 2022) are other major factors that further aggravate the process of land degradation. According to SAC (2021), at present, 97.8 M ha (29.7%) of the area is degraded in the country.…”

Land degradation is one of the most important factors responsible for the alarming situation of food security, human health, and socioeconomic development in the country. Currently, 120.7 M ha of land in the country is affected by land degradation, out of which 85.7 M ha of land is affected by soil erosion caused by water and wind. Moreover, physical, chemical, and biological degradation are the major forms of land degradation in the country. Deforestation or tree cover loss (2.07 M ha) from 2001 to 2021, intensive rainfall (>7.5 mm ha−1), uncontrolled grazing (5.65 M ha), indiscriminate use of fertilizers (32 MT year−1), and shifting cultivation (7.6 M ha) are other major factors that further aggravate the process of land degradation. In order to alleviate the problem of land degradation, numerous agroforestry technologies have been developed after years of research in different agroclimatic zones of the country. The major agroforestry systems observed in the country are agri-horticulture, silvipasture, and agri-silviculture. This review indicates the potential of agroforestry in enhancing carbon sequestration (1.80 Mg C ha−1 year−1 in the Western Himalayan region to 3.50 Mg C ha−1 year−1 in the island regions) and reduced soil loss and runoff by 94% and 78%, respectively, in Northeast India. This can be concluded that the adoption of the agroforestry system is imperative for the rehabilitation of degraded lands and also found to have enough potential to address the issues of food, environmental, and livelihood security. This review’s findings will benefit researchers, land managers, and decision-makers in understanding the role of agroforestry in combating land degradation to enhance ecosystem service in India and planning suitable policies for eradicating the problem effectively.
