Efficient water conveyance systems reduce runoff and improve water quality across connected watersheds.
Modernizing irrigation infrastructure can help enhance water quality in rivers and streams. By reducing water temperatures and decreasing nutrient levels, irrigation communities can contribute to healthier aquatic ecosystems that support both agriculture and the environment.
What it is
A clear path to cleaner rivers and streams.
Improvements such as enhanced water storage, automated irrigation control systems, and lined canals or pipelines can all enhance agricultural productivity while also protecting and improving the quality of rivers and streams. This benefits both ecosystems and communities downstream.
