Objective
Water-Savings Conservation Grants (WSCG) provide targeted financial assistance to help agricultural producers continue commodity production while also helping irrigation districts conserve water across Western States. The overall objectives are to conserve the decreasing supply of irrigation water, increase the efficiency of water use, upgrade existing irrigation infrastructure, strengthen water security, supply and distribution, and reduce adverse impacts to producers. USDA will learn from the diversity of strategies used and identify additional opportunities to maintain and expand water-saving commodity production in the future.
Applicant Eligibility
The USDA will enter into non-competitive agreements with Districts, companies, or other public corporation or special-purpose governmental unit with the authority for water delivery for irrigation purposes (Irrigation District), including Federally Recognized Indian Irrigation Projects and Acequias.
Beneficiary Eligibility
Producers will apply with the Irrigation District for any on-farm projects completed from the Work Plan.
