A new technology uses NASA satellite data to send regular advice about crop irrigation to Bangladeshi farmers via SMS. This technology aims to help farmers conserve groundwater and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by avoiding the extraction of underground water and the use of diesel pumps.
to replenish the extracted underground water. Moreover, operating diesel pumps to channel water into fields is not only expensive but also burns fuels that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
His team, which has advised 10 million farmers across Bangladesh as of June this year, estimates IRAS has the potential to decrease water waste in agriculture by 30% and reduce carbon emissions by 300,000 tons every year.
