Resumen

Water is a vital resource for the country's agriculture; it is estimated that by 2025 there will be a water deficiency, in addition to droughts and frosts generated by the El Niño phenomenon that directly affects the country's agriculture. For this reason, an efficient system with the use of water is required to minimize water consumption, which will reduce the future scarcity of water resources and will also reduce corn production expenses, which will achieve an improvement in productivity and economy of rural areas.
