The Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership appreciates our area’s agricultural heritage, and recognizes the importance of local food production. Agriculture, while a valuable part of our watershed, is one of the biggest water users so efficient irrigation and related practices are key to sustaining our water supply. We hope to provide useful information and resources about sustainable agricultural practices through our website and future events.
The Shavano Conservation District is a key local partner in promoting sustainable agricultural water use. You can learn about the district from the presentation and website below:
