- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) Program (CFDA 15.805) provides $620,000 in funding to Texas A&M AgriLife Research to evaluate the vulnerability of urban, agricultural, and ecological sectors in the Southern Ogallala Aquifer (SOA) region to drought and wildfires. The project aims to estimate the economic losses by sector and county, simulate crop yields and irrigation water usage under various management strategies,...
The Agricultural Research Service of the Department of Agriculture awarded a $519,309 Cooperative Agreement to Texas A&M Agrilife Research on August 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001). The agreement funds Phase 4 of the Ogallala Aquifer Program, an ARS-led research-education consortium addressing water availability decline from the Ogallala Aquifer on the central and southern High Plains. Work deliverables include development of tools for evapotranspiration, yield, and crop water productivity determinations and management in irrigated, dryland, and mixed precipitation-dependent/irrigated cropping systems; sensors, technologies, and models that facilitate site-specific irrigation management; and water management decision support tools and databases to support better water allocation and irrigation scheduling decisions under limited irrigation. Performance is based in College Station, Texas. The period of performance runs through December 31, 2028. The agreement supports research conducted in cooperation with and correlated to ARS's in-house research programs as defined by Congress.
