Water is a fundamental element for animal or plant life and must be considered by all, and especially by farmers who need the availability of this vital input for their activity. The gradual scarcity of water due to climate change causes the consumption of this precious liquid to change. Producers must also become water producers, preservation of springs is essential for the maintenance of our waterways, rural properties need to manage production and consumption, to survive the activity.
There are technologies suitable for every purpose, from livestock production, poultry, poultry, poultry, poultry, poultry, poultry, poultry, poultry, poultry, poultry, poultry, poultry, poultry and poultry. Drip irrigation has been shown to be the most suitable technique for some crops, especially in fruit growing. In others, however, the best efficiency is due to the micro sprinkler.

But, returning to the subject discussed at the beginning of this article, more important than using techniques for economics in the use of water, is to produce it. Whether on its property or in its basin, involving several owners or not, all should seek to treat the springs of watercourses as collective property, developing their condominium preservation, each participating in planting species that can protect the springs , as well as perpetuating them. In this way everyone can make the proper use, using irrigation techniques with lower water consumption, allowing the best productivity for that crop.
