#17 Farm Water: Growing More with Every Drop

Like their urban counterparts, agricultural water users have made dramatic strides in water use efficiency over the past two decades. Irrigation districts and farmers have adopted water use efficiency practices that compare favorably with those found anywhere in the world.

This segment takes a look at new technologies and practices that are allowing agricultural water users to grow more with less water. Huell starts at California State University, Fresno’s Water and Energy Technology Incubator to get the latest on water-efficiency technology, and then finishes with a visit to Patterson Irrigation District, where new projects are under way to re-use water, save energy and improve water quality in the nearby San Joaquin River.
