Food Security

Using modern irrigation systems boosts water supplies for crops.

By creating resilient irrigation systems, irrigation modernization improves water delivery for crops, even during drought. Increased flexibility allows farmers and ranchers to respond to changing conditions and continue to produce food locally across the West.

What it is
Modern irrigation systems deliver water more reliably under all conditions, helping to improve agricultural production and local food systems.
