Smart irrigation increases efficiencies on Yulin farms

In arid and semi-arid regions such as Northwest China's Loess Plateau, H2O comes at a premium. In these water-limited areas, every drop needs to be utilized as efficiently as possible.

On the sprawling terraced fields of Gaoxigou village in Mizhi county, Shaanxi province, a severely water-deprived area, steps are being taken to use as little water as possible in the most efficient way so that agriculture can thrive.

The "four-in-one" dryland agricultural water-saving project combines water-saving and storage with scientific irrigation using the latest in farming technologies.
