Conservation Approaches to Agricultural Water Use

As producers throughout the nation grow increasingly concerned about water
scarcity, farmers, ranchers and agricultural educators are beginning to
explore new, conservation-oriented approaches to water use. They are managing
soil to improve infiltration, selecting drought-tolerant crops and native
forages, and designing innovative runoff collection systems.

"Smart Water Use on Your Farm or Ranch," a new 16-page bulletin from the
Sustainable Agriculture Network, spotlights innovative, SARE-funded research
into a range of conservation options including soil management, such as using
compost, conservation tillage and cover crops; plant management, featuring
crop rotation, water-conserving plants and rangeland drought mitigation; and
water management strategies such as low-volume irrigation and water
recycling.

Preview or download the entire publication at
www.sare.org/publications/water.htm. To order free print copies, please visit
