Request for Proposals: Ag Drought Resilience Projects. Successful projects will help test concepts and collect data that can demonstrate the ability to either reduce water use and/or increase long-term resilience to reduced water supplies. Current projects range from $2,000 to $30,000. We do not have a match requirement, but matching funds will make your project more competitive. We are not interested in funding general irrigation efficiency improvements like installing sprinklers, drip irrigation, or piping/lining ditches.
