Jiangsu's Water-Saving Irrigation Boosts Incomes, Sustains Agriculture
The study focuses on saving water in agriculture in Jiangsu Province to improve the efficient use of water resources and address water-related challenges. To achieve this, the researchers suggest methods like better seepage control in irrigation channels, using advanced techniques like water-saving rice irrigation and mulching, and adopting various irrigation methods. They also recommend implementing laws for water management, collecting funds from different sources, reforming water resource project management, increasing investment in technology, and adjusting water prices. The main benefits of these efforts could be enhancing soil and water use, reducing water conflicts, boosting farmers' income, and supporting sustainable agricultural development.
