CDFA Schedules Additional On-Farm Water Conservation Meeting in Tulare County

In March, the Governor signed emergency drought legislation (SB 103) that allocates $10 million to the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) for on-farm water conservation practices throughout the state. The funding was allocated to be used to establish the CDFA Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program, a grant program to increase water conservation through efficiencies and better management, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. 

Two public stakeholder meetings were held in April 2014 to explain the new program and to receive comments and suggestions. A third meeting will be held as follows:

Thursday, May 8, 2014

1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Southern California Edison Energy Education Center 

Learning Centers A & B

4175 South Laspina Street

Tulare, CA  93274
