This chapter discusses monitoring water usage, soil moisture and environmental using sensors powered by IoT and how such technologies offers real-time insights into water usage for efficient management of water. It also examines decentralized smart contracts that can promote fair water use rights and incentive farmers' conservation behaviours. Combining the adaptation of technological innovation and sustainable water management, the paper offers policy prescriptions to climate proof agriculture. With means of interdisciplinary views, practical applications and policy suggestions, this book snapshots the agro-environmental management policy and the smart irrigation systems towards the protection of water resources, and future generations of smart farming applications worldwide. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
