- Abstract
With the advancement in information communication technology ICT and its introduction in the field of agriculture, the community has to shift from conventional ways to technology oriented solutions. In this paper, a mapping study research technique was adopted to identify evidences related to irrigation systems developed for efficient use of water. The study findings showed that proposed solutions were quite advance, expensive and were largely used by agriculture scientist rather than farmers. Therefore, simple and efficient ICT tools were required to address farmers' requirements and adoption of such solutions to be evaluated in real environments. In case of Pakistan, situation was not very different due to low digital literacy rate. Therefore, proposed smart solutions for irrigation require thorough evaluation by farmers.
