PLEASE HELP NEED THIS BY 6:08 PM Since 1950, groundwater has been severely depleted in many U. S. regions. In recent years, farmers and engineers have come together to find solutions to conserve fresh water, including groundwater. A modern irrigation system delivers drops of water to a plant.
For example, farmers are making an effort to provide a precise amount of water to their crops. Older irrigation systems used much more water than crops needed, but engineers have developed newer irrigation systems that use water more efficiently. These irrigation systems provide the right amount of water directly to the roots of crops. As a result, farmers can use less water and still grow healthy crops.
