You Can’t Control the Rain
But You Can Improve What Happens to the Water You Have.
Colorado growers, turf farms and agricultural operations depend on water.
When irrigation runs off, evaporates at the surface, struggles to penetrate compacted soil or fails to reach the deeper root zone, some of that valuable water isn't accomplishing everything it could.
Drought Fighting Strategies is a Western Synergy initiative focused on helping Colorado growers explore practical ways to improve water utilization, encourage deeper root development and make irrigation work harder.

Colorado growers don't need somebody to tell them the state is dry.
They see it.
They manage it.
And they pay for it.
As of August 2026, approximately 4.8 million Colorado residents are located in areas experiencing drought, and January through July 2026 ranked as Colorado's fifth-driest January–July period since 1895.
For a turf farm or agricultural operation, drought isn't just a weather story.
It's an operating challenge.
Water affects:
Plant health
Root development
Yield
Turf quality
Irrigation schedules
Energy usage
Labor
Production costs
Ultimately, profitability
So the question becomes:
How do we get more value from the water we're already applying?
Why Does That Matter?
Because irrigation water sitting near the surface doesn't help a plant nearly as much as water available throughout its active root zone.
Better penetration can support deeper roots.
And deeper roots can give plants access to moisture farther below the soil surface.
STOP TELLING ME AND SHOW ME! That's exactly the attitude we think growers should have.
Manufacturer materials include results from multi-year Irrigation Research Foundation testing in collaboration with CSU.
An Important Distinction
Those agricultural crop results do not automatically mean a turf farm will see the same yield improvement.
Different crops, soils, irrigation systems and growing conditions produce different results.
That's why Western Synergy isn't asking Colorado turf farms to simply take somebody else's results on faith.
We want to test it on your ground.
