Financing Source Water Protection Through the Farm Bill and Inflation Reduction Act

The program’s expert panel will describe the funding available to water utilities for source water protection and climate mitigation under both the Farm Bill and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and accessing these funds.

This 60-minute expert panel will describe the funding available for source water protection and climate mitigation under the Farm Bill and the Inflation Reduction Act relative to agricultural, livestock, and woodlot landscapes for the benefit of water utilities. Since the Farm Bill was reauthorized in 2018, hundreds of millions of dollars have become available for source water protection. With the recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), billions of dollars are being directed to mitigate climate change on agricultural lands. Most management practices funded under the IRA also address water quality issues such as nitrous oxide. So, the opportunities for the stacking of multiple environmental benefits are a boon for water utilities that partner with the agricultural community to access these funds.
