Agricultural Industry is the largest #water consuming sector globally. Reduce the stress on local aquifers and wells by adopting a sustainable source of irrigation with waterfromair technology.#SayNoToPlastic #NewWaterSolutions#Solarpanel

By 2050, a booming global population will increase the demand for #water & #food. On #WorldEnvironmentDay, I recommend this story focused on how adopting sustainable, climate-smart irrigation is not just a choice; it is a necessity for a #LiveablePlanet: https://lnkd.in/eG3iAwPC

Apropos of #sustainability. Why not talk about one of our most innovative products? #TurbinaVision, using the water flowing through the irrigation system, keeps the lithium batteries of #rechargeable Rain devices constantly charged. This is just one example of our #commitment to a more environmentally friendly irrigation world. There is not a planet B, doesn’t it? Join us on this journey towards a #greenerfuture.

Due to worsening droughts and heat waves across Texas, the RGV now accounts for an increasing share of the state's total water output for irrigation. While water levels in the Rio Grande diminish, the need for irrigation remains high, creating a growing imbalance. With the RGV responsible for nearly half of Texas’ irrigation water, this shift highlights the region’s critical role in agriculture but also underscores the mounting challenges posed by water scarcity and climate change. One promising solution is precision farming, which uses data and technology to optimize water use, ensuring crops receive only the amount they need. By adopting these techniques, the RGV could reduce water consumption while maintaining agricultural productivity, offering a sustainable path forward for the region. #agriculture #data #water #crops #southtexas #riograndevalley #precisionfarming #agtech
