This research explores the dynamics of carbon and water fluxes across varied agricultural landscapes using advanced Eddy Covariancde method and analytical models. By refining our understanding of these fluxes in realic settings, it enhances agricultural practices, optimizes water and nutrient management, and promotes sustainable farming. The findings contribute to mitigating environmental impacts, guiding climate-resilient policies, and advancing scientific knowledge in eco-hydrology. Ultimately, the research supports food security, environmental sustainability, and informed agricultural strategies that maximize resource efficiency while minimizing carbon footprint.
