Sustainable Water Management in Agriculture
Introduction:
Aims of the course: To familiarise farmers with work methods that can be used as a basis for improving the efficiency of farmland management, becoming acquainted with the idea that precise irrigation saves water, understanding what role farmers can play in solving the problems associated with drought and how to store water for agricultural purposes. Informing farmers about the need to stop water evaporation by introducing trees and by other solutions that keep water in the landscape. Showing that the maintenance of grassland and permanent vegetation (trees and shrubs) along watercourses also contributes to the growth of biodiversity whilst showing how excess water in agricultural areas can increase the risk of the loss of nutrient. Familiarisation with the problems of high-water consumption and how it can affect the entire production chain in industrial farming, posing a severe risk of water scarcity, both for the needs of this sector and for other sectors of agricultural production.
