EWB at Ohio State is designing and implementing an irrigation system for SE Urban Farms, an urban agriculture organization in central Ohio. The system is intended to improve water efficiency and support year-round growing capacity.

The local projects team is managing site evaluation, system design, material procurement, and installation in coordination with the SE Urban Farms team.

Impact

Reliable irrigation infrastructure directly improves the productivity of SE Urban Farms and its ability to supply fresh produce to the local community. This project gives EWB members practical experience in water systems engineering applied locally.
