Tap off, tap on: New program to boost water management for B.C. farmers
A new provincial program is set to incorporate leading technology to help maximize water in drought-prone areas of British Columbia.
Additional supports will also be considered for areas with the potential for farmland expansion, or if it would boost the agricultural production overall. “Clean water, clean soils and high-quality food have a positive ripple effect through a community, and this program will help achieve these for future generations,” Bob Hrasko, chair of the Water Supply Association of British Columbia said in the release.
Up to 50 per cent of eligible costs of improving, expanding or constructing water supply systems to farms will be covered for as much as $2 million. Fifty per cent of eligible costs up to $1 million will also be covered for rehabilitating or constructing new water storage systems like agricultural dams.
