Drought and increasing uncertainty in water availability are creating new challenges for irrigators and water managers across Idaho’s Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA). While substantial weather, hydrologic, and irrigation data are available, more data does not necessarily translate to better on-farm decisions. This seminar will explore a new stakeholder-driven research and Extension effort examining how irrigators make decisions during periods of water limitation, what information they need most, and how that information can be translated into practical decision-support resources. The project will work directly with growers, irrigation districts, canal companies, and water managers to identify information gaps and co-develop tools that improve irrigation management and drought preparedness. More broadly, the seminar will discuss how applied research, Extension education, and technology can better connect water data with the people making irrigation decisions.
