IIC supports research and training to develop tools and best management practices to make irrigation systems easier to use and more water and energy efficient.
IIC is generously supported by a $5M grant from FFAR, which recognized the power and synergistic potential of aligning universities, the private sector, and federal research groups to address critical water and energy related issues faced by agriculture, municipalities, and the private sector. IIC research and other activities match FFAR funding 1:1 with support from non-federal sources to improve water and energy use and management in irrigated systems.
