THE OGALLALA WATER COORDINATED AGRICULTURAL PROJECT: OPTIMIZING WATER USE
FOR AGRICULTURE AND RURAL COMMUNITIES



Webinar date/time: Oct 5, 2017 3:00 pm ET



Duration: 1 hour



What will you learn?

How will we respond to the challenges facing the declining water stores of
the Ogallala Aquifer of the High Plains region? The Ogallala Water
Coordinated Agriculture project (OWCAP) is a 4-year project funded by
USDA-NIFA in 2016 to support a regional, interdisciplinary research and
outreach effort to water and long-term agricultural sustainability issues
facing the High Plains. The project’s research and outreach are informed by
and target a wide range of stakeholders at the local, State and Federal
level.



“The four-year grant will take a comprehensive approach integrating
management strategies to improve use of the right water at the right time
and in the right place across the Ogallala Aquifer.”

Funding for this program will be used to develop management practices,
technologies, and tools for farmers, ranchers, forest owners and managers,
public decision makers, public and private managers, and citizens to
improve water resource quantity and quality.
