Our goal is to address this challenge by working with partners in academia, industry and non-profit sectors to conduct research in the following areas:<\/div>\n<div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ewa-rteLine\">Efficient water use through technological advancements in irrigation<\/li>\n<li class=\"ewa-rteLine\">Application and testing of consumptive use evaluation approaches<\/li>\n<li class=\"ewa-rteLine\">Selection of sustainable and profitable alternative cropping and forage systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Future Water Challenges<\/h2>\n<p>Over the next decades, these pressures will intensify, due to the confluence of population growth, water shortages and climate change. The Colorado River Basin in particular faces an ongoing supply and demand imbalance of water resources. This imbalance affects the Western Slope, as well as the Front Range, with its heavy reliance on trans-mountain diversions. With the majority of Colorado water rights used for agriculture, the next generations of farmers face a pressing need to increase the conservation and efficiency of water use in many forms.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;4%|4%|4%|4%|true|true&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;4px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#F15625&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Squiggle &#8211; Aligned Left&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;1%||1%||true|false&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n\t\t<div style=\"width: 146px; height: 8px; max-width: 100%; position: relative;\">\n\t\t\t<svg\n                width=\"100%\"\n                height=\"100%\"\n                xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n                x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\n                viewBox=\"0 0 145.1 8\"\n                xml:space=\"preserve\"\n                style=\"position: absolute; top: 0\"\n            >\n\t\t\t\t<path\n\t\t\t\t\td=\"M144.1 4c-3.6 3.3-10.7 3.3-14.3 0S119.1.7 115.5 4s-10.7 3.3-14.3 0S90.4.7 86.9 4 76.1 7.3 72.6 4 61.8.7 58.3 4 47.5 7.3 43.9 4 33.2.7 29.6 4 18.9 7.3 15.3 4 4.6.7 1 4\"\n\t\t\t\t\tfill=\"none\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstroke=\"#f15727\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstroke-width=\"3\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Our Constituents<\/h2>\n<p>The Irrigation &amp; Water Resources program at WCRC-Grand Valley works with agricultural producers \u2013 farmers, growers, ranchers, industry partners, conservation and conservancy districts, interest groups and other academic institutions.
