PROJECT GOALS
- INCREASE access to information helping to build collaborative relationships between and among agencies region and nation-wide
- PROVIDE technical expertise regarding agricultural water conservation
- CIRCULATE materials on the management, policies, and laws surrounding agricultural water conservation
WHAT IS AG WATER CONSERVATION?
- Increased crop water use efficiency
- Improved irrigation application efficiency
- Increased capture and utilization of precipitation
- Decreased crop consumptive use
- Increased irrigation water diversion and delivery efficiencies
- Reduced water use through adoption of conservation measures and new technologies
for water management
