Agricultural Irrigation Initiative: Pivot Evaluation Best Practices
Growers using center pivot irrigation delivery systems generally schedule irrigation based on the driest ten percent of a field. While this approach meets crop water requirements for most areas, it can overwater others. The challenge of uniformly meeting crop water requirements is compounded when the amount of water applied by the center pivot’s sprinklers varies…

Agricultural Irrigation Initiative: Grower Experience
Market adoption of precision irrigation practices and technologies requires acceptance and use by growers within the contexts of their farm operations and agronomic practices. While these technologies offer the promise of improved yield and corresponding savings in energy and water costs, they also come with the burden of time and effort for the growers to…

Industrial Facilities Site Assessment
In 2014, NEEA released the Industrial Facilities Site Assessment (IFSA), the first region-wide study of energy use characteristics of industrial facilities in the Northwest. The region’s utilities and power planning organizations can use these results to identify program opportunities and for energy-use planning. In addition, the region’s industrial concerns will be able to use summary…
