At 7am, a group of farmers is busy replacing an old drip irrigation system. This method delivers water slowly and directly to plant roots through a network of pipes, tubes and emitters, reducing waste from evaporation and runoff.

During a prolonged drought, the outdated system failed to distribute water effectively, negatively affecting production across various sections of the aggregated farm.
