Irrigation Innovation Consortium

Why the IIC is Needed

Water is a crucial part of agriculture and we need innovations that preserve this precious resource.

We launched the IIC in 2018 with a $5 million contribution, which is matched by consortium participants to generate at least $10 million supporting pioneering irrigation research.

The IIC’s collaborative partnerships increase access to information and technical expertise. These strategic public-private partnerships catalyze technology development and enhance strategies for irrigation efficiency.

Through the IIC, industry and the public sector co-develop, test and prototype equipment, technology and information systems. This research is equipping farms of the future with cutting-edge technology that enhances irrigation efficiency.

Colorado State University manages the IIC. For more information, visit the IIC website.
