We are:
Proving out novel approaches to managing water
Developing and testing tool prototypes to support irrigation management, supporting new businesses and related patents
Making irrigation-related data more accessible and actionable
3 national-level studies
10 projects increasing adoption of irrigation tools and strategies
11 states contributing field-level research
13 projects developing cutting-edge irrigation technology
Where we are headed?
Catalyzing broad adoption of advanced irrigation tools, technologies and strategies will be critical to sustaining communities and ecosystems.
This work is far from being done.
How can better targeted use of limited water supplies keep cities livable and inform planning and development? How might crops and crop rotations need to shift to support stable agricultural value chains? As temperatures warm and precipitation patterns shift, the need to answer questions like these grows, as does the need to collaborate.
