**5. Smart irrigation and climate-risks**

Deploying smart irrigation system may lower the overall irrigation water volume necessary to cultivate field crops in two ways. First, producers may eliminate noncropped or marginal regions from water application, and second, producers can limit application rates in low-lying areas or soils with high water-holding capacity. Field

installation of smart irrigation systems has demonstrated typical savings in irrigation water consumption of 8–20% [56] compared to uniform irrigation application. Using an intelligent irrigation system may assist minimize irrigation withdrawals while still maintaining a well-watered crop. This allows effective water usage and may lessen the likelihood of transient well failures during droughts. Having the machinery and availability to water for irrigation makes irrigated croplands less exposed to climaterelated threats than their dryland equivalents. Smart irrigation decreases this danger by enhancing irrigation water-use efficiency and minimizing freshwater withdrawals to allow for more predictable water supply.
