In fact, agriculture irrigation alone accounts for a staggering 70% of water use globally and over 40% in many OECD countries[1].
These statistics highlight the significant impact that agriculture has on water resources. As the global population continues to grow, so does the demand for food. This puts additional pressure on the agricultural sector to produce more crops, which in turn requires more irrigation and water usage.
In recent years, there has been a push for greater water-use efficiency in agriculture. This means finding ways to maximize crop yield while minimizing water consumption. Improving water-use efficiency is not only crucial for conserving this valuable resource but also for sustainable agricultural practices.
Fortunately, there has been progress in this area. Between 2015 and 2018, water-use efficiency worldwide increased from 17.3 USD/m3 to 18.9 USD/m3, representing a 9 percent efficiency increase[2]. This indicates that efforts to optimize water use in agriculture are yielding positive results.
To further enhance water-use efficiency in agriculture, farmers and policymakers can implement various strategies and technologies. Some of these include:
Drip irrigation: This method delivers water directly to the roots of plants, minimizing water wastage through evaporation or runoff.
Precision agriculture: By using advanced technologies such as remote sensing and soil moisture sensors, farmers can precisely monitor and manage water application based on real-time data, ensuring that crops receive the optimal amount of water.
Crop rotation and cover cropping: These practices help improve soil health and water retention, reducing the need for excessive irrigation.
Water recycling and reuse: Treating and reusing wastewater from agricultural activities can significantly reduce freshwater withdrawals, minimizing the strain on water sources.
These are just a few examples of the measures that can be taken to improve water-use efficiency in agriculture. By adopting these practices, farmers can not only save water but also reduce their operational costs and contribute to sustainable water management.
In conclusion, addressing water use in agriculture is crucial for the long-term sustainability of our planet. With the global population on the rise and the increasing demand for food, it is essential that we find ways to optimize water consumption in agriculture. Through the implementation of efficient irrigation techniques and sustainable farming practices, we can minimize water wastage and ensure a more sustainable future for agriculture and our water resources.
Importance of Water Management in Agriculture
Water management plays a crucial role in ensuring the success and sustainability of agricultural practices. Efficient and effective water management techniques are essential for maximizing crop yield, conserving water resources, and mitigating the negative impacts of water scarcity or excess. Let’s delve into the importance of water management in agriculture and why it is a critical aspect of modern farming.
Enhancing Crop Productivity
Proper water management practices can significantly enhance crop productivity. By providing crops with the right amount of water at the right time, farmers can optimize growth and yield. Insufficient water supply can lead to crop stress, reduced photosynthesis, and yield losses. On the other hand, excessive water can result in waterlogging, leaching of nutrients, and increased susceptibility to diseases. Water management techniques, such as precision irrigation systems, help farmers deliver water directly to the plant’s root zone, minimizing losses and maximizing water use efficiency.
Water Conservation
With increasing water scarcity and the need to feed a growing global population, water conservation has become imperative in agriculture. Adopting water management practices that minimize water wastage and optimize water use efficiency is essential to ensure sustainable agricultural practices. By implementing measures like drip irrigation, mulching, and rainwater harvesting, farmers can reduce water consumption, conserve precious resources, and minimize environmental impact.
Mitigating Water-Related Risks
Effective water management in agriculture is crucial for mitigating risks associated with water availability and quality. Climate change and unpredictable weather patterns pose challenges such as droughts, floods, and storms, which can have devastating impacts on crop production. By implementing strategies like watershed management, soil moisture monitoring, and drainage systems, farmers can adapt to changing water conditions, reduce crop vulnerability, and enhance resilience against water-related risks.
Economic and Environmental Benefits
Water management in agriculture not only benefits farmers economically but also contributes to environmental sustainability. Here are some ways in which it provides both economic and environmental advantages:
Increased crop yield and quality lead to higher profits for farmers.
Efficient water use reduces the energy needed for pumping and distribution, ultimately lowering production costs.
Conservation practices minimize water pollution from agricultural runoff, preserving water quality and protecting ecosystems.
Water-efficient irrigation systems reduce the depletion of groundwater reserves, ensuring long-term water availability.
In conclusion, water management plays a vital role in agriculture, contributing to crop productivity, water conservation, risk mitigation, and economic and environmental sustainability. Embracing innovative water management techniques is crucial for the future of farming, ensuring the responsible and sustainable use of water resources for generations to come.

Strategies for Improving Water Use Efficiency
Water use efficiency is a critical aspect of agricultural practices that can have a significant impact on productivity and sustainability. By implementing strategies to optimize water usage, farmers can maximize crop yield while conserving water resources. Agricultural consultants play a vital role in guiding farmers towards adopting these strategies and achieving greater efficiency in water management. Here are some valuable insights for agricultural consultants to help them assist farmers in improving water use efficiency:
Crop Selection and Rotation
Encourage farmers to select crop varieties that are more tolerant to water stress and have higher water use efficiency. Additionally, promoting crop rotation practices can help reduce water demand by breaking the cycle of water-intensive crops.
Precision Irrigation Techniques
Advise farmers on adopting precision irrigation techniques, such as drip irrigation or micro-sprinklers, which deliver water directly to the plant root zone. This targeted approach can minimize water loss due to evaporation and runoff.
Soil Moisture Monitoring
Emphasize the importance of regular soil moisture monitoring to determine the optimal irrigation scheduling. Farmers can use soil moisture sensors or even manual methods like the “feel and appearance” technique to assess when to irrigate, preventing overwatering or underwatering.
Mulching
Educate farmers about the benefits of mulching, which involves applying a protective layer of organic or synthetic material on the soil surface. Mulching helps reduce evaporation, maintain soil moisture, and regulate soil temperature, resulting in less water usage.
Water Recycling and Reuse
Encourage farmers to explore water recycling and reuse options. Technologies such as treated wastewater irrigation or capturing and storing rainwater can provide alternative sources of water for irrigation, reducing reliance on freshwater resources.
Optimal Fertilizer Use
Help farmers understand the connection between fertilizer applications and water use. Excessive fertilizer usage can lead to increased water requirements. By promoting efficient and targeted fertilizer use, farmers can reduce water needs while maintaining crop productivity.
Crop Water Requirement Estimation
Assist farmers in accurately estimating the water requirements of different crops at different growth stages. This knowledge will enable them to apply the right amount of water at the right time, avoiding wastage and ensuring adequate hydration for crops.
By implementing these strategies, farmers can make significant progress in improving water use efficiency and achieving sustainable agricultural practices. As an agricultural consultant, providing guidance and support in adopting these practices can have long-lasting positive impacts on both the environment and the farmers’ economic sustainability. Remember, efficient water management is not just about doing more with less, but also about preserving this precious resource for future generations.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns, Travis Kelce hauled in one of them to the delight of Taylor Swift, and the Kansas City Chiefs blew out the inept Chicago Bears 41-10 on Sunday.
Jerick McKinnon had a pair of touchdown catches and Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire added touchdown runs, helping the Super Bowl champion Chiefs (2-1) deal the Bears (0-3) their 13th consecutive loss dating to last season.
Kelce finished with seven catches for 69 yards and the 3-yard score, which made it 41-0 early in the second half. The All-Pro tight end celebrated by revving the engine of an imaginary motorcycle while Swift, whom Kelce had invited amid rumors of their budding relationship, joyfully pounded the glass of her Arrowhead Stadium suite and his mother, Donna Kelce, cheered alongside.
The game was so lopsided by the third quarter that Mahomes and most of the Chiefs’ starters got the rest of the day off.
Embattled Bears quarterback Justin Fields was 11 of 22 for 99 yards with an interception and a meaningless touchdown in the final minutes. He also led the Bears with 47 yards rushing, a good chunk of that coming on a 17-yard scramble, as the league’s 27th-ranked offense finished with just 203 yards against one of the NFL’s fast-improving defenses.
It was a brutal end to a dismal week of distractions for Chicago.
In the span of a few hours Wednesday, defensive coordinator Alan Williams abruptly resigned, citing the need “to take care of my health and family,” and Fields had to walk back some comments he made blaming his “robotic” play through the first two weeks on the way he had been coached.
Bears coach Matt Eberflus was left to call defensive plays Sunday, just as he did in last weekend’s loss to Tampa Bay, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid proceeded to make the former Indianapolis Colts coordinator look utterly lost.
The Chiefs began their assault with the first of Mahomes’ two TD passes to McKinnon, then Edwards-Helaire scored from a yard out to make it 14-0 early in the second quarter. When the Bears punted a third consecutive time, Mahomes hit McKinnon again to extend the lead, and Kansas City proceeded to score on its next four possessions.
As for Fields, well, the QB was not just robotic but inaccurate. When one of the league’s most porous offensive lines wasn’t allowing the Chiefs to pressure him, Fields was consistently missing open targets down field.
He was picked off by Mike Edwards late in the first half, leading to Pacheco’s touchdown run. And when Harrison Butker added the second of his two field goals, the Chiefs were able to take a 34-0 lead into the break.
STATS AND STREAKS
The Bears have not won in Kansas City since Week 5 of the 2015 season. … Reid won his 271st game, moving him past Hall of Fame coach Tom Landry into fourth place on the career list. … Mahomes went over 25,000 yards passing for his career. He did it in 83 games, the fastest in NFL history. … Mahomes had his 22nd game with three TD passes and no interceptions, tying Aaron Rodgers for the most by a QB before turning 30. Mahomes turned 28 last Sunday. … Kelce needs three more TD catches to pass Tony Gonzalez (76) for second in Chiefs history.
INJURIES
Bears: Starting safety Eddie Jackson was inactive with a foot injury and cornerback Josh Blackwell was dealing with a hamstring injury, all before cornerback Tyrique Stevenson had to be evaluated for a concussion; he later was deemed to have an illness and did not return. Defensive backs Jaquan Brisker and Jaylon Johnson also were hobbled during the game.
UP NEXT
Bears: Host the Denver Broncos next Sunday.
Chiefs: Visit the New York Jets next Sunday night.

Education:
In pursuit of nurturing this talent further, Pacheco enrolled at La Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. It was here that he was exposed to diverse artistic philosophies and studied under renowned artists such as Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros.

He began participating actively in literary circles where his poems were hailed as groundbreaking pieces showcasing raw human emotions intertwined with political undertones. Whether through brushstrokes or verses on paper – passion coursed through every creation from this visionary artist.
Struggles With Sanity:
However, as Pacheco’s creative output soared, the battle between his sanity and passion escalated. Tormented by demons within, he often experienced periods of melancholy and intense introspection. These inner conflicts fueled his artwork even further but also pushed him to the limits of his mental and emotional endurance.
Love and Relationships:
Despite these trials, love found its way into Pacheco’s life. In 1950, he met Carolina Mendoza, an accomplished painter herself. Their shared passion for art forged a deep bond that would sustain them through the trials and tribulations that lay ahead. Mendoza became an integral pillar of support in Pacheco’s life and artistry.
Legacy:
Joaquín Pacheco’s legacy is one that transcends borders and defies categorization. His works are celebrated internationally for their emotional depth and ability to resonate with people from all walks of life. Throughout his artistic career spanning several decades, he captured humanity’s essence in vibrant strokes or carefully chosen words.
Conclusion:
Sanity and Passion: The Life of Joaquín Pacheco tells the story of an extraordinary individual who navigated the thin line between rationality and creativity with unparalleled grace. It endeavors to shed light on a man who not only challenged societal norms but left an indelible mark on the art world through a combination of artistic brilliance, unwavering dedication to his craft yet still grappling with personal demons along the way. Joaquín Pacheco remains an iconic figure whose contributions continue to inspire generations of artists striving to marry their sanity with their passion just as he did throughout his illustrious lifetime.

More than 1,000 people attended a march and rally in Windsor’s downtown Wednesday morning in protest of LGBTQ rights in schools and sexual education programs.
The “1 Million March 4 Kids” was part of demonstrations happening across the country this week that are also being met with counter protests.
Some parents and socially conservative groups are protesting LGBTQ-inclusive education policies in the classroom and in extracurricular settings.
Policies emerging across the country, including in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan, that require young people to get parental consent before teachers can use chosen first names and pronouns are at the heart of these protests. Those opposed to parental consent rules say the policies are a violation of children’s rights and that transgender youth should not be outed to their parents by teachers.
At the public and Catholic school boards in Windsor, youth are able to use a different name and pronoun at school without informing parents.
Speakers during the protest spoke about what they describe as parental rights.
“Children need adult protection of their innocence,” said Jeremy Palko, a co-organizer of the march and member of Harvest Bible Church.
“They don’t need adult pollution of their sexuality and not so-called inclusive affirming curriculum changes that schools don’t get a pass on warping the minds of our little ones.”
Several different groups of people, with varying perspectives on the protest and its purpose, were in attendance at the march in Windsor, which started at Dieppe Gardens along the riverfront. Some attendees made anti-LGBTQ remarks. Other attendees, when asked, were unsure if they agreed with parts of the remarks made by speakers at the rally, while another attendee said they agreed with “most” of what was said.
There were also counter-protesters there to support LGBTQ kids and rights. Police were present for portions of the protest.
Attendees said they disagreed with school board policies and sexual education curriculums and what they see as schools’ interference in parenting.
“We will want our voice to reach the government, to know that we have the right to raise our children the way that we want,” said Jamal Al Jibouri.
“That parents are the first educators and that the relationship between a parent and a child is primary,” said Taunia Piknjac. “The idea that parents are unsafe because they disagree with the teachers’ ideas is actually more harmful. It’s counterproductive to the child’s good.”
Protesters in support of LGBTQ rights in schools gathered nearby throughout the protest and march.
“I think there was a lot of love from our community, from our side of it. It was very much a stance on, kids deserve human rights, kids deserve basic rights,” said Christian Pacheco. “From the other side of it …I think it’s very dangerous in ideology and I believe that we shouldn’t think that way about our kids.
“I felt the need to come here today because I needed to show support for my community, for my people, and I need to show that other queer kids, trans kids, they don’t need to feel alone … because there are people out there who love you and who are fighting for your rights.”
The issue has ignited protests around Windsor and Essex County in recent months. In June, parents protested outside a public Greater Essex County District School Board meeting, after people were barred from attending the meeting in person. Some parents there were in opposition to school board policies about gender expression for kids.
School board encourages parents to look at curriculum
In statements to CBC News, both English boards said that there are established channels for parents to share any concerns with educators.
The Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board encouraged parents to educate themselves on “what their children are actually being taught” by calling administrators or reading the Ministry of Education website.
“Our basic message to our students and their parents is simple: we are committed to providing safe, inclusive environments for our staff and students where everyone feels welcome,” the statement read. “We teach our students to accept everyone in our schools regardless of their differences, which is consistent with one of the fundamental concepts of our Catholic faith: God loves all of His creations.”
Scott Scantlebury, a spokesperson for the Greater Essex County District School Board, declined to comment on the protests but said students are “always welcome, respected and celebrated for who they are” at school and in the classroom.
“Everyone has a right to be themselves and feel safe and accepted at school. Discrimination, bullying and hate of any kind have no place in our schools.”
