Promote efficiency, sobriety and water savings in agriculture

Promote efficiency, sobriety and water savings in agriculture, particularly through the agro-ecological transition.

• Improve collective management and understanding of the impact of agricultural withdrawals on a coherent perimeter (this includes actions such as installing tools to monitor and manage withdrawals and hydraulic equipment. OUGCs can also fulfill collective management missions: interoperable database and implementation of resource management actions, particularly during crises and restrictions. Studies on multi-year authorizations (AUP) can be supported if the OUGC commits to developing, with the EPTB or a similar structure, a shared path to equilibrium and carries out the aforementioned actions.)
• Control agricultural withdrawals and consumption. The Agency finances actions such as: • improving irrigation management and efficiency (e.g.: collective purchase of water-saving equipment) • individual support actions to reduce water consumption • awareness-raising actions for water savings, training • collective consulting services for users • undertaking diagnostics of collective networks, studies and experiments in favor of water saving programs
• Develop agricultural practices and farming systems for better resilience to climate change…
