Abstract:

Smart irrigation ecosystems represent a revolutionary fusion of water science, data analytics, and precision agriculture. With the intensifying challenges of climate change, water scarcity, and population growth, conventional irrigation practices are no longer sustainable. Smart irrigation integrates Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and real-time data to optimize water use, enhance crop productivity, and promote climate resilience. This article discusses the concept, technologies, applications, and future prospects of smart irrigation, highlighting its role in advancing sustainable agriculture and efficient water resource management.
