Agricultural Water Management Fund accepting applications

The Water Security Agency (WSA) is now accepting applications for the Agricultural Water Management Fund.

The fund helps producers and municipal governments with water management projects “that support environmental stewardship and agricultural growth in Saskatchewan,” says a news release from the provincial government.

“The Agricultural Water Management Fund supports responsible and sustainable water management in Saskatchewan,” Minister Responsible for the Water Security Agency Daryl Harrison said. “Saskatchewan producers are great stewards of the land, and we know supporting our agricultural sector with programs like this leads to a growing and vibrant province.” 

Using a cost-shared approach, approved applicants can receive up to $95,000 per project, to be used for “qualified persons support, technical and engineering costs, and mitigation and rehabilitation works for agricultural water management projects.”

Eligible recipients include First Nations in Saskatchewan, rural municipalities, conservation and development area authorities, watershed association boards and irrigation districts.
