Can New Farming Methods Ease India’s Water Crisis?

India is running short of water, and farms use much of it.

Many farms still use methods that can lose water through evaporation and runoff.

The article says farmers cannot wait for government changes alone.

It suggests growing some crops without soil, using a method called aeroponics.

In aeroponics, plant roots hang in the air and receive a fine mist containing nutrients.

The article says this method can use much less water than conventional farming.

It also describes using technology to manage nutrients, temperature and growing schedules.

The author believes these approaches could help farmers grow food more reliably with less water.
