Drought resilience is increasingly important for BC agriculture as changing climate conditions place greater pressure on water availability for farms and rural communities. Building drought resilience helps producers adapt to prolonged dry periods by improving water storage, irrigation efficiency, and overall water management practices. Investments in agricultural water infrastructure support reliable crop production, reduce risks to farm operations, and help safeguard local food systems during times of water scarcity. Strengthening drought resilience also contributes to healthier watersheds and more sustainable use of BC’s shared water resources for future generations.
