Workgroup Information

Irrigation Management

Summary The Irrigation Management Workgroup exists to better facilitate collaboration on programming and research priorities, but also to provide a pool from which members can crowd-source answers to questions that come up in the course of developing and executing their individual programs. The goal is to strengthen the connections between advisors, specialists, academic coordinators, and others working in different areas of irrigation management or adjacent topics.
