Abstract

Agriculture is the primary food source, pivotal in meeting the global population’s food and nutritional requirements. With the current surge in population, the challenge of feeding such a vast number becomes increasingly daunting. Smart and precision farming is a crucial solution to address this challenge effectively. Given that farming inherently relies on water, optimizing its usage is imperative. This paper thoroughly reviews various techniques for optimizing water to ensure judicious water use. The document delves into diverse strategies, encompassing crop, soil, and weather-based management and monitoring approaches geared towards efficiently utilizing water resources. Additionally, the paper explores the application of machine learning and deep learning techniques in optimizing water usage, providing a detailed analysis of the results. Serving as a comprehensive guide, this paper illuminates the multitude of tools, techniques, and methodologies that form the foundation of smart and precision farming practices.
