Evidence-Based Approaches to Agricultural Water Management
Applying data and field evidence to improve water use in agriculture and coastal areas.
Water is one of the most important inputs in agriculture, yet its use is often planned with limited data. Evidence-based approaches help improve both productivity and sustainability.
Starting with field data
Surveys, field observation and water-use records provide the basis for understanding how water is actually used and where losses occur.
Integrated Water Resources Management
Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) considers the competing demands on water across agriculture, communities and the environment, supporting more balanced decisions.
For coastal and climate-affected areas, this evidence base is essential for building resilience into agricultural planning.
