The California Department of Water Resources and California Department of Food and Agriculture have partnered together to provide $6 million in grant funding to help enhance the agricultural water efficiency of water suppliers and operations throughout the state. On Tuesday, the two programs released a Request for Proposals for joint applications involving funding for both agricultural water suppliers and agricultural operations. The pilot program will combine $3 million in funding from DWR’s Proposition 1 fund for agricultural water suppliers to pressurize the delivery of water directly to growers, which modernizes water deliveries to match technological upgrades by growers to create more efficient irrigation system, and $3 million from CDFA’s State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program for growers to receive that water and utilize it through technologies such as drip, subsurface drip and micro-sprinkler irrigation systems.
