Integrated Water Management Course – Spring 2026

Water is one of Central Oregon’s most critical and finite resources. Whether you’re managing irrigation on a working farm, advising landowners, or simply looking to make more informed decisions about water use on your property, this course was built for you.

Developed in partnership with Oregon State University, the Integrated Water Management Course is a new hybrid program designed to help producers and land stewards improve irrigation efficiency, strengthen resilience, and plan for long-term water use in our region. Participants will gain practical, science-based knowledge through a combination of online learning and real-world field experience.
