The Pressurized Pipe Irrigation System (PPIS) is revolutionizing water delivery to farmers by utilizing underground pressurized pipelines. This method minimizes leakage and evaporation, ensuring efficient and equitable water distribution. The video showcases how PPIS integrates with drip and sprinkler irrigation, digital monitoring, and farmer-led Water User Associations to enhance water-use efficiency, lower irrigation costs, and boost crop productivity.

Smart irrigation practices are empowering farmers to conserve water, improve livelihoods, and promote sustainable agriculture. For more information, visit the FAO India page. Subscribe to our channel here and follow us on social media: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, Weibo.
