- Sustainable Management
- Smart Irrigation
- sustainable method that provides crops with lower water levels at growth so they are less sensitive to the lack of water
- same yield as normal but using less water e.g drip feeding water directly to the roots to reduce loss via evaporation
- Australia - for fruit trees - 60% increase water productivity - retaining yield size and increase in fruit quality
- Recycling water
- Singapore - NEWater and importing water
- 5.4 million population on 710 km of land - gets 2400mm of rain a year but limited collection and storage and has high evaporation
- use local rainwater through drains, canals and storm water collection poiuts
- NEWater scheme - treats and purifies water producing high grade recycled water
- 4 plants meeting 30% of countries needs - plans to increase to 50% by 2060
- agreement until 2061 to import water from Malaysia
- desalination plants
- Singapore - NEWater and importing water
- Sand Dams, Kenya
- sand is trapped behind a 1m high dam - water is trapped in sand
- sand stops the water evaporating when its hot - locals can extract the water using wells, holes and using taps
- advantages - cheap to make, local materials, little maintenance, height can be increased, water recharges whole area meaning more vegetation, can be self sufficient by locals
- Smart Irrigation
