Irrigated agriculture in the U.S. Southwest and northwest Mexico faces a future where water supplies will not only be reduced, but also less reliable and more expensive. In a region where irrigated agriculture uses nearly 75 percent of the water supply in the Colorado River Basin, occupies more than four million acres of land, and provides food for local and global markets, the impact of reduced water supplies for farmers—in some regions, as much as 40 percent over the next century—will be far-reaching. The Babbitt Center is focused on improving water resiliency and regional sustainability through efforts with rural, urban, and Tribal agricultural stakeholders.
