Subsurface water management is a critical agricultural practice designed to conserve water while enhancing crop production. This approach focuses on using technologies like subsurface drip irrigation, which delivers water directly to the root zone of plants, minimizing evaporation and runoff. It ensures that crops receive a steady, efficient water supply, which is particularly beneficial in areas where water resources are scarce. By maintaining optimal soil moisture levels, subsurface water management not only boosts crop yields but also helps in reducing the environmental impact of water use. This method is key to addressing water scarcity issues and promoting sustainable farming practices in regions prone to droughts and irregular rainfall.
