SWF Secure Water Future
Categories: Collaborative
Secure Water Future is a collaborative of investigators from across the semi-arid western US aiming to improve agricultural and environmental water resilience. To achieve climate change adaptation in western agriculture and ecosystems, we need better information and flexible institutions for our most precious resource—water. Currently funded by the US Department of Agriculture, the team combines the expertise of researchers, extension specialists, and educators working across California, New Mexico, and Utah with applicability to the western US and beyond.
The Secure Water Future team’s goal is to understand, enable, and envision water management strategies, empowered through data-enabled decision-making, for agricultural and ecological systems. The transdisciplinary team works with growers, irrigation districts, and ecosystem managers to adopt and adapt climate resilience strategies, train the next generation of transdisciplinary practitioners, and produce an online dashboard for data-driven decision-making.
