Abstract

The article discusses the application prospects and potential of high-efficiency agricultural irrigation technologies in plateau regions. It provides an overview of the current state of agriculture and irrigation in plateau areas, highlighting the challenges they face, including limited water resources, extreme climatic conditions, and diverse topography. Drip irrigation technology, known for its precise water delivery and reduced water wastage, has seen successful application in the cultivation of rice and fruits in plateau regions. Spray irrigation technology evenly disperses water to meet the water requirements of different crops, improving water resource utilization on the land. The use of remote sensing technology, such as satellite imagery and ground sensors, aids farmers in real-time monitoring of soil moisture, weather conditions, and crop health, thereby optimizing irrigation strategies. Smart irrigation systems, incorporating automated control and sensor technology, dynamically adjust irrigation volume to meet crop needs. Despite the significant potential of these technologies in plateau regions, the article also addresses the challenges and obstacles associated with their implementation.
