dc.descriptionAgricultural water management (AWM) is paramount to sustainable agricultural development, healthy food systems, human and environmental health and is key to socioeconomic development. Agriculture is one of the sectors responsible for the degradation and depletion of water resources, mostly due to poor water management practices and the lack of proper knowledge. The adoption of novel and smart technologies that are optimally designed for a specific local context enhances AWM practices. It ensures high efficiency and uniform distribution of applied water. Advanced planning and proper management of water contribute to the adaptation of the agriculture sector to climate change. This has the potential to guide coherent and strategic decisions on sustainable agricultural development that result in optimal crop production even under physical, environmental, financial, and technological restrictions. The chapters in this book have addressed most of the pertinent and topical issues earmarked to transform AWM.
