2025 Agricultural Water Management Plan Guidebook

Agricultural water suppliers in California have a long history of preparing agricultural water management plans (AWMPs) and implementing efficient water management practices (EWMPs). 

However, water management planning is not static; changing conditions and understanding of the system necessitate revisiting, adapting, and improving planning and implementation efforts. The five-year cycle AWMP is an opportunity for individual agricultural water suppliers to closely examine their practices and systems to find areas where operations can be improved and where water can be used more efficiently. An AWMP can also provide information and a record to the public on the agricultural water supplier’s stewardship of our limited water resources.
