Continue to evaluate and implement all best management practices (BMPs) to improve efficiencies in water use on crops, including choosing hybrids or other heat-resistant crop varieties best suited to arid land agriculture, using drip systems to optimize water and nutrient applications, using plastic covers between vegetable crops to reduce water loss and growth of noxious weeds, and making improvements to soil conditions to increase water retention. Explore funding opportunities to support implementation of BMPs, such as redirecting Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) funding.
