Determining irrigation water requirements based on climate, soils, crop needs, irrigation management needs and selecting and sizing irrigation system components in accordance with those requirements and the Conservation plan; and3. Developing construction drawings and specifications, engineers estimate and irrigation water management plan.DURATION AND FUNDING:All awards are subject to the availability of sufficient funds being appropriated by Congress and apportioned by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to support the addition and full cost of services to implement technical service activities. Grant agreements will be awarded competitively to successful applicants.
