Robotics, Drones, Remote Sensing, GIS, and IOT Tools for Agricultural Water Management
摘要
In order to meet the problems of feeding a growing global population while managing limited resources and environmental sustainability, agribusiness must incorporate cutting-edge technology. This chapter explores the critical role that technology plays in optimising and modernising agricultural practices, highlighting the many advantages that it offers. We reveal the revolutionary effects of robots, drones, remote sensing, geographic information system (GIS), and Internet of Things (IoT) tools on agricultural and water management through a thorough investigation of these technologies. These technologies enable precision, data-driven techniques that transform conventional farming practices. Labour-intensive operations are automated by robotics; aerial insights are provided by drones; detailed data is obtained by remote sensing; geographical analysis is facilitated by GIS; and real-time monitoring and decision-making are made possible by IoT technologies. Agriculture thus gains productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. However, challenges related to adoption, affordability, and regulatory considerations must also be addressed. This chapter not only underscores the pivotal importance of technology in agriculture but also presents a roadmap for its continued integration and advancement in the field.
