Advancements in smart irrigation technology are reshaping how water is managed in agriculture. Smart valves and intelligent field systems integrate sensors, automation, and IoT networks to optimize water distribution with remarkable precision. These systems continuously monitor soil moisture, weather conditions, and crop needs, automatically adjusting water flow to minimize waste and improve yield efficiency. The integration of data analytics and cloud-based control platforms enables farmers to make informed decisions remotely, ensuring sustainable water use even under changing climatic conditions. This review discusses the emerging role of smart valves, their technical design, and their impact on modern irrigation efficiency and long-term resource conservation.
