Water is central to agriculture that accounts for 72 percent of global freshwater withdrawals. Water is not only crucial for food production, but is also essential for food processing, preparation and transportation. Ending hunger and malnutrition and achieving food security require access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene. Agricultural systems substantially rely on the availability of good quality water. Nevertheless, practices in the agrifood systems can directly impact on water systems, such as agricultural pollution and overuse of groundwater. Water quality and availability are directly linked to soils, which provide a number of ecosystem services related to water, such as storage and infiltration of water, water holding capacity, the regulation of floods and the auto-purification of water from contaminants.

Domestic wastewater can be a resource for water, energy, and nutrients. Conventional wastewater treatment systems incorporate aerobic biological processes and rely upon aeration to oxidize organic matter and ammonium. The result is high energy consumption and a large carbon footprint, primarily due to nitrous oxide emissions. By contrast, strictly anaerobic processes produce methane, a valuable energy resource, which avoids energy-intensive aeration and formation of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. It also produces a nutrient-rich effluent that can offset the need for imported water and fertilizer for irrigation. Through a pilot-scale demonstration, this project will show proof-of-concept for efficient and sustainable water reuse through anaerobic treatment with ultrafine membranes. In time, the technology could provide carbon- and energy- efficient water reuse to meet irrigation needs, decrease the need for imported water, and point the way for local water reuse in small communities. — Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, 10w ago

To date, half of all domestic wastewater is untreated, added by large volumes of untreated agricultural drainage water discharged into the environment. FAO’s ‘One Water One Health’ initiative addresses an integral concept of water as reflected in the Sustainable Development Goal 6 Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. This includes access to safe, reliable and sustainable water – including irrigation water – and water used in food production and processing , adequate water management practices (including re-use), water efficiency and the protection of essential services by aquatic ecosystems, under the umbrella of integrated water resources management. It is within this context that this new publication emerges as a pivotal keystone, providing not just insights but actionable pathways, marking a significant step towards sustainable integration of agriculture, water, and health.”... — SCIENMAG: Latest Science and Health News, 7w ago

The survey digs into water usage and what percentage comes from surface water, ground water or reclaimed water. It asks about irrigation audits, and an energy audit, and asks about best practices for such environmental concerns as pollination, pesticides management, water quality, irrigation and more. — NH Business Review, 9w ago
As we navigate an era of increasing water scarcity, the role of local governments in spearheading water conservation efforts becomes paramount. By zeroing in on municipal facilities, government leaders can create significant savings, both in terms of water and finances. Advancements in water metering and wastewater treatment technologies are also revolutionizing the way communities manage their water resources.STRATEGIES FOR EFFICIENT WATER USAGE IN ALL MUNICIPAL FACILITIESClimate change and population growth is bringing long-standing water scarcity issues into the headlines, and it's now imperative for local governments to prioritize water conservation. Fortunately, there are several modern and simple methods they can employ.At parks and recreation facilities – Parks and recreation facilities are often the biggest source of water usage in a municipality’s portfolio. High-impact solutions to reduce water usage in these environments may include:... — Governing, 10w ago
Gutu also stressed the need for a better understanding of water, its management, and its value in food production and environmental preservation. The FAO collaborates with various stakeholders at global, regional, and national levels to enhance water management, reduce water losses, and improve water efficiency. They promote an interdisciplinary, integrated approach to water resource management and provide accessible water solutions. — Daily Sabah, 7w ago
..."The AR Recon partnership is a great example of state, federal, and academic collaborative research using emerging technologies to improve California's ability to manage water with increasing weather extremes,” said Michael Anderson, state climatologist with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). “This critical research allows for DWR to use new innovative strategies for water management in a changing climate."... — ucsd.edu, 13d ago
Here, Rivulis will showcase how farmers can benefit from using advanced micro irrigation and new climate farming models to address climate change, water scarcity, biodiversity loss and food security while bolstering sustainable livelihoods for growers. "This initiative represents an opportunity to introduce and train farmers on micro irrigation systems – producing more and better-quality crop yields even in harsh climates, while using less water, fertilizers, energy, and labor. This beta farm is unique in the region, showcasing Rivulis’ advanced irrigation and fertigation systems, and reflects DANA’s and Rivulis’ joint commitment to educate and help growers transition to more sustainable farming", the initiators say. — hortidaily.com, 10d ago
High-Performance Operations: Additional high-performance standards at HBS include the use of Green Cleaning products, a campus-wide irrigation audit to reduce water use by at least 15%, offering preferred parking for low emitting vehicles, conducting energy audits and water conservation efforts (low flow shower heads, dual-flush toilets, ultra-low flow urinals, low flow faucets). — harvard.edu, 12d ago
To further enhance energy efficiency, SLP integrates sustainable practices into every facet of its assets, spanning energy, water supply, irrigation, and waste treatment. Notable features include LED lighting, VFD pumps, and readiness for solar panel rooftop installation at all facilities. Water and irrigation systems incorporate smart technologies, drought-tolerant landscaping, and high-efficiency fixtures. Comprehensive waste management systems are in place to monitor, recycle, and conduct waste steam audits. — Vietnam Investment Review - VIR, 14d ago
She supported leadership and staff through several renovation and infrastructure projects, such as six new greenhouses including a 14,400-square-foot greenhouse to safeguard an important grapevine collection from red blotch disease and other pathogens; new irrigation and water management initiatives; major upgrades to the Center for Aquatic Biology and Aquaculture; the installation of a new indoor vertical farm to develop innovative solutions for food security and improved water use, and a new and innovative goat dairy and creamery. — College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, 13d ago
Another area where you can make a difference is in your use of water. The water we use comes from the sea after going through a process of desalination. But desalination uses a lot of energy and represents the second source of greenhouse gas emissions in Qatar. Watering lawns and landscaping with plants –which, in Qatar’s hot environment, requires a lot of water – represents an inefficient use of resources and contributes to climate change. Have you considered landscaping with native species that are better adapted to desert conditions and require less water? Have you installed faucets that save water in your home? Do you leave water running unnecessarily? Saving water is easy and an extremely effective way to reduce your environmental damage. — thepeninsulaqatar.com, 14d ago
