Farms and other agricultural water users ensure the availability of fresh, locally produced food to both rural and urban communities.

Irrigated agriculture is the backbone of Oregon’s economy, supporting a variety of high value crops sold globally.
Agricultural water suppliers are on the forefront of conservation and are always seeking innovative ways to stretch our resources.
