The objective of the Agricultural Water Conservation Efficiency Program is to invite eligible applicants to leverage their money and resources by cost sharing with Reclamation on projects that save water, improve water management, increase water supply reliability, improve energy efficiency, and benefit endangered species. Projects that achieve this by directly enabling on-farm water conservation or water use efficiency projects that can be undertaken by farmers and ranchers remain a high priority for this program. Reclamation and the USDA's Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) are encouraging water suppliers to work with farmers to identify the roles at play to facilitate and/or assist with on-farm improvements that contribute to water supply reliability in the State of California.

Fiscal Year 2019: Program water savings of 2,152 AFY for a lifetime savings of 64,560 AF. The improved accuracy from metering improvements will allow 35,000 AFY water better managed from this program Fiscal Year 2018: Program water savings of 222 AFY for a lifetime savings of 5,178 AF. The improved accuracy from metering improvements will allow 31,000 AFY water better managed from this program
Selection of two recipients for a total of $1,658,870 in FY 2020 Federal funding.
Fiscal Year 2020: Two California projects received $1.65 million total in Ag Water Use Efficiency grants for fiscal year 2020. Combined with local cost-share contributions, these projects are expected to implement about $5.0 million in water management improvements during the next two years. The projects will better manage 6,138 acre-feet, increase district-level efficiencies and facilitate farm water use efficiency.
Increase in the efficiency of water used for irrigation purposes within California and resulting water savings. FY22 funded 2 projects:
The Pipeline Conveyance-Converting Wide Canals to Pipelines Project will convert 4,100 feet of open canals to 18-inch PVC pipeline to increase water use efficiency and reliability and reduce water losses due to seepage and evaporation.
The Service Area Canal Reservoir Lining Project will line two reservoirs with high-density polyethylene liner to reduce seepage and improve water reliability.
Single Audit Applies (2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F):
