Project Background
N-Drip will work with approximately 20 producers of the Colorado River Indian Tribes to implement a drip irrigation system on flood irrigated fields. This system will provide the benefits of pressurized drip irrigation while offering the simplicity of flood irrigation. Participating producers will implement a unique sensor-based system which provides real-time data about water stress and nitrogen levels, enabling the producers to optimize water and fertilizer use to achieve maximum yield and crop health without wasting resources.
