The minimum grant is £35,000, with a maximum grant available of £500,000 per applicant per funding round.

The grant is designed to help improve farm productivity through more efficient use of water for irrigation, by adopting best practice irrigation application equipment and to secure water supplies through construction of on-farm reservoirs.

Before you submit your full application, you will need to secure any planning permission and abstraction licences.
