The
Irrigation District Engineering and Assistance Program (IDEA)
includes:
educational services and technical assistance for irrigation
districts
applied research in GIS-based management systems and rapid
assessment methods for prioritized rehabliation projects based
on water saving potential.
These “irrigation” districts include irrigation, water control,
water improvement, and municipal utility districts
that deliver irrigation water.
