Utah agriculture officials expect to save more than 60,000 acre-feet of water annually from close to 100 water-saving projects that received state grants this year.
set aside the spring 2023 round of funding during its 2022 legislative session, using money it received from the American Rescue Plan Act.
"We are excited to continue the charge to help Utah's farmers and ranchers better optimize their water use on their farms," said Hannah Freeze, the department's agricultural water optimization program manager, in a statement. "The response from the agricultural producers to optimize and save water has continued to grow with each application period for this program, showing they are stepping up to be part of the solution.
Utah's water supply received a boost from a record snowpack earlier this year. Its reservoir system is listed at nearly 82% capacity, down from its peak at 86% capacity in July, according to Utah Division of Water Resources data. That's still well above the median August capacity of 64% and last year's average of 50%.
