Abstract

The water crisis in the world is a challenge that affects the availability and quality of water, greatly impacting agriculture. In this situation, digital transformation can provide solutions to optimize water use in agriculture. This article aims to investigate the connection between digital transformation technologies and water management in the agricultural sector.
To carry out this research, a bibliometric analysis was carried out based on documents collected from Web of Science. The software VOSviewer was used to create network visualization maps. Through the analysis performed, 5 main clusters that were identified. The red cluster showed the use of digital transformation technologies, such as precision agriculture, used in soil irrigation or vegetation improvement. The blue addresses the issue of climate impact and sustainable development goals and the importance of using irrigation strategies in crops. The green focused on the use of sustainable and innovative resources in water management. The yellow shows the interest in improving agricultural production, focusing on climatic conditions. Finally, the purple focus on the policies applied to reduce impacts on farms.
This study analyzed the literature on water management in agriculture using digital transformation technologies. Its results offer a broad overview of the topic for researchers and guide future research, while practitioners can identify opportunities for improvement in their processes.
