Consortium for Irrigation Research and Education

The Consortium for Irrigation Research and Education (CIRE) is an effort to provide better coordination of irrigation research and Extension activities throughout Texas. It will enhance internal communication and sharing of information about ongoing irrigation projects and will create opportunities for collaboration and development of joint projects. These efforts will contribute to optimizing programs to improve irrigation management and provide for broad-based water use education and irrigation training throughout the state.

CIRE is a group for anyone involved in irrigation research or education programs, and involves members from Texas A&M University, Texas Tech University, West Texas A&M University, Texas A&M Kingsville and USDA Agricultural Research Service. Texas Water Resources Institute is the CIRE facilitator.
