The increasing of water use effciency is very important to sabe irrigation water in agriculture in anscenery of risks by droughts and climate change. The aim of this mini-review is highlight irrigation technologies and the some strategies of the irrigation wáter management. The manuscript analyze the effect of irrigation technologies, wáter policy, irrigation scheduling, system maintenance and technology transfer to obtain more biomass per unit of wáter applied.
