IIC works to identify and support high-quality research to support the irrigation industry and improve water and energy use efficiency. Through its projects, IIC is advancing knowledge and building collaborative capacity involving university, industry, and other partners.
Since 2019, IIC’s competitive call process to select new research projects has been supported by diverse group of academic and industry affiliates who serve on its Research Steering Committee. This group helps design IIC’s competitive call for projects so that it will address critical knowledge and practice gaps in/for the irrigation sector and end users.
