Sutter-Yolo Mobile Irrigation Lab Sign-up

Yolo County Resource Conservation District (YCRCD) and Sutter County Resource Conservation District (SCRCD) have partnered to create the Sutter-Yolo Mobile Irrigation Lab (MIL).  YCRCD and SCRCD were the recipients of a Water Efficiency and Technical Assistance grant under the California Department of Food and Agriculture's Office of Environmental Farming and Innovation.  The Sutter-Yolo Mobile Irrigation Lab provides free agricultural irrigation conservation services for growers in the Southern Sacramento Valley in English, Punjabi, and Spanish.  The goal of this program is to provide growers with valuable information so they can take steps to optimize their irrigation system to conserve water and energy.

The Mobile Irrigation Lab features free, on-farm irrigation system evaluations that provide data from the pump to the emitters/sprinklers.  Evaluations include in-field measurements of pressure and flow, and they result in confidential reports that are hand-delivered to growers.  These reports include: 

  • Distribution uniformity rating (DU, how evenly water is applied).
  • A map detailing the locations of pressures and flows collected.
  • Application rates.
  • Theoretical run times.
  • Recommendations for improvement.
  • More!  
There is also limited funding to provide free pump efficiency tests to about 20 growers each year who get their system evaluated.

If you are interested in receiving a FREE irrigation system evaluation, please fill out the following Google Form.  You can find out more about the program at Yolo County Resource Conservation District's website
