Washington State farm dramatically cuts irrigation needs
Original: How a Washington State farm dramatically slashed its irrigation needs
A farm in Washington State has sharply reduced the amount of water it needs for irrigation, according to Yale Climate Connections. The report highlights the methods the operation used to cut its water use, a topic of growing interest as drought and competition for water intensify across the American West. Farmers and water managers are watching such examples for lessons on adapting agriculture to drier conditions.
Why now: Water scarcity in the western United States is making successful water-saving farming practices newly relevant.
