Technologies in Agriculture : -

Saving water from rain.
Farms operating on heavy clay soils often install tile drainage systems to remove
excess water from fields.
Getting crops the right amount of water at the right time has always been a
challenge for farmers.
Scientists at Agriculture and Agri -Food Canada are helping farmers achieve this
balance and, at the same time, reduce their impact on local water quality and
quantity.
Scientists there have developed an innovative closed loop water management
technology that combines tile drainage, reservoir and controlled drainage with
irrigation system.
