Rattlesnake Creek Irrigation Innovation Project
This is a Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) through USDA-NRCS for large scale comparison and evaluation of center pivot package and irrigation water management technologies.
Important Survey
As a part of the grant, the research team needs to know what works and doesn't work with existing irrigation technology & techniques. Additionally, it is an opportunity to provide direct feedback to the research group on your needs for future programs and technology.
Brief Overview
Principle Investigator, Heidi Mehl (The Nature Conservancy), provides a brief overview of the project.

Crop Water Allocator
The Crop Water Allocator (CWA) is a tool to evaluate strategies to allocate limited irrigation on selected crops based on economic returns. It was developed by Kansas State University’s Southwest Research-Extension Center, Department of Agronomy, Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, and Department of Agricultural Economics with programming support from Sprout Software. The project was funded in part by the Ogallala Aquifer Program, a consortium of the USDA Agricultural Research Service, Kansas State University, Texas AgriLife Research, Texas AgriLife Extension Service, Texas Tech University, and West Texas A&M University.
