Punjab Farmers Embrace Water-Saving Irrigation Method

Imagine rice fields that get flooded, but now, farmers in Punjab are trying a new way!

Instead of flooding the fields all the time, they use a special pipe to see when the ground is dry.

This method is called AWD, which means 'watering after allowing the field to dry'.

It's like checking if your plants are thirsty before giving them a drink.

This helps them save a lot of water, like 20-40%!

Also, this technique is being used in over 75,000 acres across different districts.

The farmers are using it on large areas now to save on water and reduce the need for pesticides.

This helps save water and keeps the environment safe.

It is a free method provided by an organization, which is helping save water to address the water crisis in Punjab.
