This article is about how this group of people used 4 different strategies on 4 different types of land, in order to judge how well certain water conservation techniques would work. This included installing weather-sensitive irrigation equipment, rainwater gathering equipment, outreach programs, and fixing the soil to be better at retaining moisture.

This article described ways in which water is important to daily life (of which there are, of course, many), and went on to describe some way in which water can be preserved. Most notably, they mention ways in which rain water can be better and more efficiently gathered.

This article was all about conservation of water and soil from the farmers' side of things; difficulties of using water conserving techniques and less harsh pesticides and fertilizers warring with their need to produce enough food to fill their quota.

This 7 minute video was all about different ways to conserve water, and reduce the salinity that you have to deal with. One of the major ways included rain water (in the same manner as cisterns).

This video is about a type of irrigation that would reduce the amount of water used in agriculture by 70-90%. It's similar to drip irrigation, but different because it doesn't have to be conducted above ground, which helps reduce the amount of water wasted.
