2025 Ag Water Summit

Hosted by the Colorado Ag Water Alliance and the Colorado Water Center at Colorado State University, this event will bring together members of the agircultural, water resources, and unverity communities to discuss issues impacting water in agriculture.

A large focus of this event is on research and creating successful projects iwth research partners. With the many obstacles facing the agricultural community, and less financial resources at the federal level, it is more important than ever to build relationships that serve the needs of agriucltural producers, and help us identify new strategies and technologies to manage a future with less water.
