MARICOPA, Ariz. — In the beating sun, in what looks like the middle of nowhere, University of Arizona researchers were hard at work, drilling into the fields at the Maricopa Agricultural Center .It's all part of the UA's $63 million project — the Cooperative Extension — which helps improve farming practices by figuring out when and how much water to apply to different crops.
Separately, the program brought in company Desert Control to further their research efforts. The objective is testing how well soil maintains moisture after mixing in clay. These methods are still being tested but the program has already seen a lot of success, so far saving nearly 36.5K acre-feet of water.
Through the Water Irrigation Efficiency Program, run by the university extension, he received funding to install pivots on his 660 acres of land.
