Smart Irrigation Plan Could Save Farmers Up to 30% Water

Scientists at IIT Bombay have created a smart irrigation plan to help farmers use less water.

They use a computer model that looks at the weather forecast and how wet the soil is.

This helps farmers know when to water their crops.

In a test, farmers saved up to 30% of water without growing less food.

The system can also help prevent wasting water when rain is expected.

The scientists are now expanding this plan to other areas and crops to help farmers use water more efficiently.
