The Northern Plains and Mountains Regional Water Program is a partnership of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) and land grant colleges and universities. The region comprises Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. Its purpose is to integrate research, education, and Extension programs to address high-priority water issues, and it strives to establish a collaborative, structured process that develops and shares new and existing water resource practices and management techniques throughout the region and nationally.
