The Save Water Save Energy program is a network of conservation entities working together on energy efficiency in agricultural communities. We do this by helping to connect agricultural operators and owners with outreach and incentives that increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations. Through the Save Water Save Energy program we can all work together to help our local farming communities increase their access to energy efficiency technology.
RC&D Councils are local, non-profit conservation collaborations, working with conservation districts and other partners to bring Save Water Save Energy program services to their local communities. Contact your local RC&D or Save Water Save Energy representative today and find out how you can save money and conserve vital natural resource today!
