water conservation play vital role in river site or rooftop. river site is mainly used check dam and urban site is used rooftop . so best practices is based on requirement .

Well,

• Regards

Thank you Bayan Hussien sir for your elaboration on the topic.

Please see the following RG link.

Presentation Water Conservation Practices

I agree with Bayan

I appreciate Dr.Bayan Hussien for his valuable answer.

Use these best management practices to

• Protection of Water from Pollution; ...
• Redistribution of Water: ...
• Rational Use of Groundwater: ...
• Population Control: ...
• Renovation of Traditional Water Sources: ...
• Use of Modern Irrigation Methods: ...
• Increasing Forest Cover: ...
• Change in Crop Pattern

Rational use of water, use of rainwater efficiently, forestation, reduce water losses through drainage, well-planned irrigation system, protection of water from pollution, renovation of traditional water sources might be the ways to conserve water.

Thank you all RG members for their contribution in the discussion

SMRT soil water retention technology (SWRT) has been developed to retain prescriptive levels of rainfall and irrigation waters in crop root zones for longer periods of time in arid and humid regions.

Patented SMRT-SWRT membranes optimize soil water, nutrients, and oxygen in soil root zones.

SMRT-SWRT Solutions dramatically improve crop water use efficiency while increasing crop production from 24% to 110%, even tripling and quadrupling cotton production on rainfed arid regions.

Most water use efficiency practices are external to the source and use of water, rather than the specifics of biological and hydropedological relationships between plant root surfaces and gradients at the rhizopedological soil water interface.
