世界上可用的淡水资源状况正在以令人沮丧的速度恶化。尽管非洲的情况已经相当严重，但考虑到人口增长的速度以及经济导致需求增加而人均用水量的增加，在不久的将来也会给亚洲带来巨大的问题。农业消耗淡水是全世界主要的用水方式之一；然而，保护性种植园艺作物似乎可以缓解这个问题。滴灌已经大大减少了用水量。然而，温室生产中的新型高科技解决方案可以引领高效用水生产技术的发展。采用更有效的用水技术将有助于可持续发展，特别是在人口稠密的城市地区。荷兰封闭式温室新技术有助于开发节水生产系统
The world's fresh accessible water situation is deteriorating at a dismal pace. Though the situation is already quite dramatic in Africa, the near future will bring us great problems in Asia as well, considering the pace at which the population is growing and the rise in water use per capita as the economy induces a raised demand. Agricultural consumption of fresh water is one of the main water uses world wide; however, it appears that protected cultivation of horticultural crops can alleviate the problem. Drip irrigation already reduces water use dramatically. However, novel high technological solutions in greenhouse production can lead the way to highly efficient water use production techniques. Adoption of more efficient water use techniques will contribute to sustainability, especially in highly populated urban areas. The novel Dutch technology of closed greenhouses could help develop water efficient production systems
