Agricultural Water Enhancement Program (AWEP)
The Agricultural Water Enhancement Program (AWEP) is a voluntary conservation
program under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). AWEP provides
financial and technical assistance to farmers and ranchers to assist them in
applying agricultural water enhancement activities that conserve ground and
surface water and improve water quality on agricultural lands.
While EQIP is available statewide, AWEP is only available in USDA approved
project areas (click on map below for full-size view).
