Saskatchewan water management program accepting applications

A program that provides financial support to farmers and local governments developing and maintaining responsible agricultural water management projects in Saskatchewan has started accepting applications.

The Water Security Agency (WSA) administers the Agricultural Water Management Fund where applicants can receive up to $95,000 per project based on a cost-sharing approach.

It can be used for support, technical and engineering costs, and mitigation and rehabilitation works for agricultural water management, according to WSA Minister Daryl Harrison

“The Agricultural Water Management Fund supports responsible and sustainable water management in Saskatchewan,” 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.”
