Water Innovation Systems and Education (WISE)

Existing water technology efforts have grown into a new comprehensive Water Innovation Systems and Education (WISE) initiative. The program is a public/private partnership program that focuses on fostering the implementation of field practices, technology and management strategies for industrial, agricultural and municipal water applications; with the goal resulting in measurable and scalable ground water conservation, improved water quality and overall soil and ecological health. The program is an expansion of our legacy Water Technology Farm and PACE Farm programs, and includes the development of a state-wide Master Irrigator and innovative farm cost-share program.
