2 Agricultural Irrigation System Optimization Review
Progress Update: Eight customers participated in on-farm irrigation system reviews of approximately 3,000 acres during the week of October 16 – 20 Agricultural engineers from the “Irrigation Training and Research Center” collected data on: Watering practices Irrigation equipment Soils Crop requirements Drones operated by Code 3 Media pilots collected color, multi-spectral, and infrared imagery to analyze watering patterns, soil and plant characteristics EMWD staff coordinated logistics and communications A draft project report is currently being prepared by consultants

3 Participating Farms Farm Description Water Source Irrigation System
1. Sun City – Alfalfa Recycled Hand move with impact rotors 2. Nuevo - Alfalfa Wheel line with impact rotors 3. Hemet - Pumpkins Inline drip emitters 4. Nuevo - Alfalfa Well/Recycled Center pivot & wheel line with impact rotors 5. San Jacinto - Turf 6. Hemet - Alfalfa 7. Hemet – Citrus/Avocado Well Solid set micro-sprinkler 8. Moreno Valley - Alfalfa

4 Aerial Imagery Data collected from the multi-spectral camera is available online for researchers, agronomists, and growers Information provides insights on pests, diseases, weeds, soil fertility, crop damage from storms, and irrigation trends

5 Preliminary Findings – Opportunities for Improvement
On-Farm Irrigation Systems Standardize irrigation nozzles Improve filtration Optimize pressures EMWD Distribution System Further pressure stabilization Optimize water quality for infiltration Water Allocation Rules Review and update as needed

6 Recommended Next Steps
Present a final draft report to the Board Planning Committee on February 8, 2018 Incorporate Committee’s recommendations and present a final report to the full Board on February 21, 2018 Submit final report and invoice to USBR for grant reimbursement by project completion date of July 31, 2018
