With decreasing water resources and increasing production needs along with the population squeezed into cities, the need for effective water management systems is rapidly increasing. Effective water management is becoming a subject that is not only a value-enhancing factor for yield but a necessity. Water resources, whose drying has accelerated with global warming, show that serious water problems may be experienced in the coming years.

Freelance climate writer Jocelyn Brown notes that in current climate conditions, it is of critical importance to ensure that water use is correctly regulated and efficiently consumed. This is even more important given the current prediction that 70% of the world's population will live in cities by 2030 and almost half will face water scarcity problems.

Although a large part of the world is covered by large oceans and seas, only a 3% portion of these water resources is drinkable, and a large part of these remains frozen in glaciers. In such a situation, using water resources effectively requires extra importance. Various studies conducted reveal that a large portion, such as 75%, of these drinkable water resources is used in agricultural irrigation.
