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
