What are some common challenges associated with implementing efficient irrigation strategies in drought-prone areas, and how can they be addressed?

Common challenges associated with implementing efficient irrigation strategies in drought-prone areas include limited access to water resources, high energy costs, and lack of technical expertise. These challenges can be addressed by investing in water harvesting and storage infrastructure, using energy-efficient pumps and irrigation systems, and providing training and education programs for farmers. Additionally, government incentives and subsidies can encourage farmers to adopt efficient irrigation practices, promoting sustainable agriculture in drought-prone areas.
