The government will promote "solar drip irrigation" technology in farming, that saves on water and electricity and improves farming productivity. This irrigation technology rose to prominence in Israeli where farmers often have to grow crops in desert-like conditions with very little water. Drip irrigation is an irrigation system that allows water to drip slowly to the roots of plants either onto the soil surface or directly onto the roots of plants through a network of valves and pipes. Drip irrigation uses lesspower compared with the existing non-solar system which requires farmers to usepower to pump water into tanks. Solar drip irrigation can even help with off-seasonfarming.
