75% of Israel's land uses water-saving drip irrigation technology

 According to Xinhua News, March 22 is World Water Day. The United Nations has set the theme of World Water Day 2022 as "Cherish groundwater and treasure hidden resources". In Israel, a country in the Middle East where water resources are scarce, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, "water-saving wisdom" at the fingertips is being widely applied in the farms.

According to data from the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Israel spends 17% of its agricultural budget on supporting scientific and technological research and development. Michael Levy, Senior Deputy Director-General of Agricultural Innovation of the Ministry, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency recently that the government has invested about 5 million US dollars in agricultural digitization academic research in 2021 and about 35 million US dollars in agricultural science and technology. Practical transformation to drive adoption of digital farming. Among them, the water-saving-oriented precision irrigation system occupies a large proportion. Relying on the developed Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence technologies, the digital water saving revolution is quietly taking place in the fields of Israel.

Yunnan promotes farmland water-saving irrigation

Farmland Micro Sprinkler Irrigation

Water-saving irrigation equipment is widely used in the province's farmlands

Yunnan Net News (Reporter Wang Shujuan) The reporter recently learned from the Provincial Department of Water Resources that the effective utilization coefficient of farmland irrigation water in our province will increase from 0.492 in 2020 to 0.502 in 2021. According to this calculation, the farmland irrigation water in our province in 2021 will save 9,200 yuan compared to 2020. 10,000 cubic meters, the water-saving benefit is equivalent to building a large (two) type reservoir.

At present, the three large-scale irrigation areas of Qujing, Binchuan and Qinglonghe have been included in the national "14th Five-Year Plan", and the investment in the construction of supporting facilities and modernization has been completed at 228 million yuan. Implemented 12 supporting and water-saving renovation projects for medium-sized irrigation areas, with a total investment of 435 million yuan. The province has vigorously carried out the establishment of water-saving irrigation districts, of which 3 large-scale irrigation districts have reached the establishment standard of "water-saving irrigation districts" by the Ministry of Water Resources.

The province Saved more than 90 million cubic meters of water in farmland irrigation in 2021

The Yunnan Provincial Department of Water Resources estimates that in 2021, farmland irrigation water in Yunnan will save 92 million cubic meters of water compared to 2020, and the water-saving benefit is equivalent to the water supply of a new large-scale reservoir.

According to the "2021 Yunnan Province Farmland Irrigation Water Effective Utilization Coefficient Calculation and Analysis Results Report", the Yunnan farmland irrigation water effective utilization coefficient has increased from 0.492 in 2020 to 0.502. Based on this calculation, in 2021, Yunnan's farmland irrigation water will save 92 million cubic meters compared to 2020.

In recent years, the Yunnan Provincial Department of Water Resources has promoted water conservation in various places through measures such as the continued construction and modernization of large-scale irrigation areas, the continued construction and water-saving renovation of medium-sized irrigation areas, and the construction of water-saving irrigation areas.

In 2021, the three large-scale irrigation areas of Qujing, Binchuan and Qingzhihe will be included in the national "14th Five-Year Plan", and the investment in supporting construction and modernization will be 228 million yuan. A total of 435 million yuan of investment has been completed. Yunnan has established water-saving irrigation areas in the province, of which 3 large-scale irrigation areas have reached the "water-saving irrigation area" standard of the Ministry of Water Resources; at the same time, the standardized and standardized management of irrigation areas has been strengthened, and water-saving irrigation technology has been vigorously promoted. The area of 10,000 mu and high-efficiency water-saving irrigation is 844,800 mu.

At the same time, in 2021, Yunnan Province will also promote water saving through the comprehensive reform of agricultural water price, and the newly increased area of comprehensive reform of agricultural water price in the province will be 4.9273 million mu.
