Developing grounded solutions

for water management

IIC creates, tests, improves, and studies the use of advanced irrigation management tools and technologies.

The need for this work grows as freshwater supplies shrink and weather patterns shift.

Our Commitment


Improving irrigation tools, technologies, and methods

Our goal is to equip a diverse range of stakeholders with new science- and practice-based knowledge they can use today.

Supporting adoption of updated irrigation systems

IIC provides irrigation stakeholders with others with opportunities to evaluate and integrate emerging and existing irrigation technologies.

Convening critical conversations

We bring together diverse stakeholders to address critical challenges and improve irrigation management outcomes.
