Innovations in farming 2-New ways to water

A new technology being trialled in the southeast united states looks to increase water usage efficiency to reduce the extra 45% that is said to be needed to account for the demand in food. But farmers are looking to avoid this giant cost with a new water efficiency system.


A new innovation on a classic farm system, this system adds a valve to the classic 360 nozzle, the one that just sprays water all over the place in a circle. But the problem is that it sprays water all over the place. so a lot of the time it they spray on crops that are already watered or on paths between crops.

But with these valves water can be saved, by a computer precisely opening and closing the valves to ensure water only lands on crops, saving water. This is a very original and useful idea, as though both technologies aren't very new, combining them is extremely useful.


This Technology has had a very positive impact on society and will benefit all people, not just farmers, as water usage is reduced, helping the environment and saving people money on increased pricing for agricultural products.
So overall, this new technology will benefit everybody!
