“…The most popular strategy for creating crop water requirement models is the use of climate-related factors. A decision-making scheme can determine how a specified crop will act using these models, based exclusively on meteorological factors (Shahid et al 2019). However, not all regions have connexions to or not near a large network of weather stations such as the local micro-climates are not recognized if those criteria alone are used.…”

In the development of the nation agriculture plays a significant role. IoT technology helps gather knowledge about environments such as wind, precipitation, temperature, and soil fertility. IoT allows farmers to get connected to their farm from anywhere at any time. Difficulty regarding agriculture has been always hampered; slow down the development of the country. These patterns benefit people in many respects, such as analysis using IoT and artificial intelligence, data sharing, and analytics in an unparalleled way. In this paper, we review IoT implementation in monitoring the environmental conditions of the crops and farms in various agriculture sectors. Additional IoT monitoring, control, and optimization functionality may be used to remotely monitor the control systems or actuators attached to the microcontrollers to ensure that the crop can react promptly as required. In this article, today's climatic change scenario aims to establish a comprehensive vision of IoT implementation in the farming sector to improve agricultural production in the future, as well as to guarantee the constant supplier of food. We describe the advantages of applying IoT on livestock, weather surveillance, the agricultural warehouse, and the intelligent irrigation technique.

“…As an engineering feat, the use of gravity to apportion water to more than 100,000 watercourses is remarkable, but it is important to challenge any assumptions that IBIS construction was rooted in hard science, as “this ignores that the construction of the irrigation systems was a learning process of colonizers who did not practice irrigation within their own country” (Wegerich et al., 2014, p. 14). Politics and privilege of the nineteenth century are embedded in the IBIS design alongside hydraulics, as local elites were engaged in the process of canal digging (Mustafa, 2011; Shahid et al., 2019), with State management at the time limited only to the main canal and local communities applying for the rights to build and connect their own secondary and tertiary channels as they were able (Wegerich et al., 2014). Elite privilege in the IBIS structure may have been exacerbated further with Pakistan’s 1947 independence from Britain, as the evacuation of Hindus from their homes along the IBIS without any subsequent land tenure reform left a vacuum in which a strong landholding class could grow (World Bank, 2019).…”

The most significant investment in improved water governance for Pakistan in recent decades—irrigation management transfer under the PIDA Act of 1997—ended with repeal in 2019 in the province of Punjab. Before embarking on the next major experiment, we wish to examine what the opportunity space for improvement in Pakistan’s water governance is. We develop a conceptual model that maps the roles of hydrology, infrastructure, management, governance, and learning in shaping water supply. We are motivated by the overarching question of where the best opportunities to improve water governance in Pakistan lie, and suggest in our analysis that the hydraulic constraints of the Indus Basin Irrigation System (IBIS) that have previously been the basis for consideration of scale in water (irrigation) governance are inappropriate. Our key recommendation is instead to identify the key “problemsheds” for the IBIS as a vehicle for identifying scales of intervention and communities of common water interest (possibly at village, union, or tehsil administrative levels) that can allow irrigators to transcend the rigid hydraulic user groupings that irrigation channels impose, and contribute more meaningfully to good local water governance.
