The project involves assessment of an irrigation equipment innovation that would allow producers using gated pipe to potentially control water delivery with more precision, saving energy and labor.
ECOASSET MARKETS, INC

2009
The purpose of this award is to pilot an innovative market-based approach to managing water withdrawals in the Chipuxet River watershed and to model the effect of the reduction in withdrawals on base flows and its impact on other ecosystem services. It will build upon previous water usage studies, incorporate current hydrologic models/ecosystem services assessments, and apply EcoAsset Markets’ experience with community based environmental markets to prototype successful water/ecosystem services management in the watershed.
The resulting ecosystem service economic model will provide landowners/producers a better basis for economic/environmental management of their land, provide communities with innovative methods to finance conservation and water-related environmental improvements, and provide a well-studied basis for the policy and regulatory changes necessary to improve environmental economies – a task that historically has been economically difficult.

2009
This project provides an innovative way to manage forest wastes in a sustainable way, using forest biomass to create biochar in a mobile pyrolysis unit. This will reduce the volume and weight of the forests waste materials and the biochar produced will be applied to soils to increase forestry and agroforestry productivity on EQIP eligible lands. Biochar increases soil water holding capacity and the ability of the soil to retain nutrients.
