Project

The Northern Plains and Mountains Regional Water Program has undertaken a project funded through Cooperative State Research, Education, Extension Service (CSREES) National Integrated Water Quality Program to research, compile, and assemble, in an accessible and educational manner, information regarding Ag Water Conservation.
Although the main focus is on agriculture in the semi-arid and arid west, hopes are to later expand the mission and include water conserving practices in agriculture across the various climates and regions of the United States. The website will be dynamic and may be manipulated by each user according to the information they seek. It will be a collaborative endeavor and will both come from and serve the needs of the nation's related institutions and individuals alike, to make better decisions about future water supply and demand.

 

Geographic Region

The area of concentration is located primarily in the Western United States, but also may include regions where similar water conservation practices in agriculture are prevalent.

 

Intended Audience

The targeted audiences are CSREES Water Coordinators, water resource managers, agricultural producers, and various decisions makers who are involved with water management, policy, and law throughout western United States and nationally.

 

Project Goals

The project's goals are to increase access to information which will help build collaborative relationships between and among agencies, provide technical expertise regarding agricultural water conservation, and offer detailed information on the management, policies, and laws surrounding agricultural water conservation. An estimate of the duration of this project is five years.
