Agriculture Water Infrastructure Program (AWP) – Stream 1: Producer Projects | IAF

August 8, 2024

Value

Maximum of $1,000,000.

Description

One of the primary methods to alleviate both spring flooding and summer drought is the construction or enhancement of water storage systems. A well-designed storage system can capture a portion of the peak spring flow for use later in the summer when demand is highest.

Successful applicants of Stream 1: Producer Projects will receive cost-shared funding to increase agriculture water availability. Water storage infrastructure will be eligible where there is an indication that the water supply is currently unable to meet agricultural demand, where it is unlikely to meet demand under future climate change conditions, and where upgrades are required for existing infrastructure that are failing.

Eligible Applicants

To be considered eligible for this stream, applicants must be BC-based and an individual producer (i.e. a single farm), including:

  • Producer – Cooperative
  • Producer – Corporation
  • Producer – Limited Liability Company (LLC)
  • Producer – Partnership
  • Producer – Sole proprietorship
  • Indigenous Producer – Limited Liability Company (LLC)
  • Indigenous Producer – Partnership
  • Indigenous Producer – Sole Proprietorship
  • Indigenous Cooperative
  • Indigenous Corporation

Individual producers and Indigenous producers who use water for a mix of agricultural and non-agricultural uses are eligible.

Eligible Expenses

Within Stream 1: Producer Projects, there are five eligible activities:

  • Rehabilitation and upgrades of (regulated and unregulated) agricultural dams and reservoirs to meet regulatory requirements.
  • Improvement, expansion or new construction of dugouts and related storage infrastructure for irrigation water and livestock watering including rangeland.
  • New construction of other water storage infrastructure.
  • Improvement, expansion or new construction of off-farm conversion of conveyance ditches to pipelines where savings of 30 to 50% can be achieved.
  • Improvement, expansion or new construction of water delivery systems to the farm gate from off-farm storage infrastructure and licensed intakes on streams.

Deadline Date

August 8, 2024: Applications Close at 4PM
