Water is crucial to all life; it is also the lifeblood of agriculture. In order to feed the growing population, irrigation allows us to produce more food to feed a hungry planet. In order to effectively manage our water supplies, effective irrigation strategies must be employed. UNL Extension is a leader in irrigation management and has developed Irrigation and Agricultural Water Management lessons, YouTube videos, and other curricula to use in the classroom. These materials were created with funds from the Nebraska Environmental Trust.
