This project proposed offering an opportunity for producers to explore the utilization of these irrigation advances through consultation with individuals familiar with the various components, and provided a financial incentive for producers interested in incorporating or expanding their utilization of conservation practices associated with irrigation water management, improving application efficiency, and/or utilizing chemigation/fertigation technology

The purpose of this project was to offer NRCS and communities a set of digital tools they can use to discuss, understand and educate on natural dynamics in areas of environmental value to stakeholders and the public, around a given site in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and to create speculative models of intervention while visualizing the effects they may have in the future. This project offered an initial tool for scientific personnel and the general community to be able to communicate natural cycles and soil-related events through graphic, time-based simulations and visualizations.

This project will engage landowners on a different level than has historically been done. Project is to provide education and outreach to rural non-industrial forest landowners and promote a landscape scale approach to environmental protection and natural resource enhancement on private forestland in NE Oregon. Develop forest "Wellness report card" to aid NIPF landowners on fire risk, stand density, and production capabilities.

The goal of the Liquid Assets Project is to identify, develop and finance a pipeline of pilot sustainable agricultural and ranchland investments that will demonstrate how private investment capital can be used to generate a combination of environmental, social and investment returns. Through this project, Trout Unlimited and its project partners will provide investment capital for ranchers to convert to sustainable ranching practices and for farmers to improve water use through crop switching or irrigation system improvements. The projects will target both water savings and increased agricultural profitability that can enable farmers and ranchers to stay on the land, provide financial returns to investors, improve stream flows, and enhance grassland conditions and ecosystem health.

The overarching project deliverable is to integrate state-of-the-art tools in order to demonstrate and promote a comprehensive irrigation water management system and environmental market based incentive program. Many of the tools needed for precision irrigation exist but are not integrated to achieve full effectiveness. The questions of when, where, and how much to irrigate are capable of being answered, but our team’s objective is to create a singular, accessible system in which to manage those questions daily through one tool. Primarily, the project objectives will address water quantity through conservation, but precision irrigation management also directly impacts water quality through the reduction of runoff and leaching. The environmental market opportunity will engage corporations and consumers in water conservation efforts.
