Title: MOBILE IRRIGATION LAB SERVICES

Deadline: 7/21/2021 2:00 PM   (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

Status: Deadline Expired

Solicitation Number: 36956

Description:

The St. Johns River Water Management District (District) has made a commitment to reduce water use through water conservation efforts by promoting water conservation. Agricultural water use represents a substantial portion of water demand in the District.  Four major irrigated crops (citrus, row crops, sod, and nursery) represent the largest proportions of agricultural acreage in the District. Agricultural irrigation efficiency is important to the District because the efficient use of irrigation water can maximize the use of available supplies, enhance affordability to the grower and the consumer, and reduce nutrient loading to water resources.

 

Mobile irrigation laboratories (MILs) assist in the promotion of water conservation for agricultural producers in the District by providing irrigation system evaluations to help improve system efficiency. MILs may also assist agricultural producers in nutrient reductions required to meet the Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) as mandated by the Clean Water Act and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's 303 D list of impaired waters associated with the freshwater lacustrine zone of the Lower St. Johns River (LSJR).  Additionally, as part of the services provided, a MIL may check irrigation system flow accuracy rates for EN-51 compliance purposes.
