History
Laws 2022, chapter 332 establishes the On-Farm Irrigation Pilot Program for the purpose of
providing grants and collecting data for on-farm irrigation efficiency systems to reduce on-
farm use of groundwater, surface water, mainstream Colorado River water or water delivered
through the Central Arizona Project (CAP) while minimizing or eliminating the use of flood
irrigation or fallowing to reduce on-farm use.
The program and its fund are operated by the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension
(UACE). UACE is a research and education service that works with the federal government
and all Arizona counties by collaborating with agriculture professionals in areas including
crop production systems, range and livestock systems and water resources management
