Precision Irrigation Systems in Indian River Irrigation Districts
Precision irrigation systems (PIS) are increasingly being implemented to optimise water use in agriculture, particularly in arid regions like Djibouti where Indian River Irrigation Districts operate. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews to gather data on farmer practices and perceptions.
