Understanding the Needs of Agriculture
The IWMP has interviewed over 100 ranchers and agricultural producers since 2018 to hear their ideas on what water and riverside land management changes could benefit them. The 2018 Focus Groups convened by the Community Agriculture Alliance helped to craft the IWMP goals and tasks. In 2020, CAA conducted in-depth interviews with irrigators throughout the basin. The results of those interviews are presented in the Stakeholder Data pages of this site.
Assessment of Diversion Infrastructure
In 2020, the IWMP conducted an assessment of 45 irrigation diversion structures to identify possible opportunities for improvement. You can learn more about this work at this site's Assess Conditions page.
Water Rights Education
One goal of the IWMP is to develop education materials for agricultural water users on the prior appropriation system, the value of a water right, and maintaining a water right.
This fact sheet gives an overview of water rights administration and reporting
