Raised beds for improving crop water productivity and water efficiency in irrigated dryland agriculture
Irrigation is crucial for agricultural activities, however, if not managed well, it entails high water losses and can be inefficient. The raised bed system is an improved surface irrigation strategy, which enhances productivity and makes the application of water in irrigated systems more efficient. It can be easily implemented by the farmers themselves. This practice describes how raised bed systems can be used to improve crop water productivity in summer and winter crops.
