Water is essential to all farm enterprises, yet both too much and too little water are increasingly common challenges as precipitation patterns become more variable and extreme. Drought reduces crop yields, stresses livestock, and strains water supplies. Conversely, excess precipitation water-logs soils, delays planting, damages crops, and degrades fields and infrastructure. Effective water management helps farms navigate these extremes while minimizing erosion, runoff, and environmental costs. Protecting and restoring natural water systems further supports farm resilience by moderating both flood and drought conditions, and benefits the ecosystem and overall health of the land.
