Abstract
Water scarcity is a rising challenge in many regions around the world, including nations economically dependent upon agriculture. Interventions for efficient use of scarce water can include lining irrigation canals with artificial materials or the use of enclosed horizontal drainage systems. One key innovation widely deployed in arid regions is drip irrigation which allows targeting water delivery to irrigated cropland, minimizing unutilized and wasted agricultural runoff. However, conventional approaches to construct and operate drip irrigation systems face can encounter disruptions from hot temperatures, exposure of drip irrigation plastics to sediment buildup, high-salinity soils, heavy metals, and chemical fertilizer runoff. This paper describes how nanomaterial- enabled drip irrigation systems can overcome some limitations of conventional plastic drip irrigation systems, as well as (a) improve the efficient delivery of water, and (b) enrich soil quality in specific environments. To determine the influence of nanomaterials were used methods of ion chromatography, potentiometric, and electrochemical methods. As a result, an innovative injector was obtained containing sulfur nanoparticles. The chemical composition of this injector has a positive effect on the indicators of mineral components of water.
