Punjab Promotes Micro Irrigation to Conserve Water

Imagine a way to water crops that saves water and helps them grow better.

Punjab's government wants farmers to use micro irrigation, which includes drip and sprinkler systems.

These systems help use water wisely and put fertilizers and pesticides right where the plants need them.

Farmers can save up to half the water they use and get more crops.

The government also provides money to help farmers install these systems, especially women and small farmers.

The government is also increasing canal irrigation to provide more sustainable water, which also helps the soil.
