Agricultural Water Resources Assistance Program (AgWRAP)

The Agricultural Water Resources Assistance Program (AgWRAP) was authorized through Session Law 2011-145. The program is administered by the NC Soil and Water Conservation Commission through local soil and water conservation districts.

The purposes of the AgWRAP are to:

• Identify opportunities to increase water use efficiency, availability and storage
• Implement best management practices (BMPs) to conserve and protect water resources
• Increase water use efficiency
• Increase water storage and availability for agricultural purposes

The Soil and Water Conservation Commission allocated 45% of available BMP funding for district allocations for all approved AgWRAP BMPs. The remaining 55% will be allocated for new ponds and pond repair/retrofits applications through a competitive regional application process.
