SUBJECT: Agricultural Emergency Drought (AED) Grant Request (No. FY13 -6)
The Agricultural Emergency Drought (AED) Grant Program provides up to $1 million annually
for emergency drought- related water augmentation purposes to Colorado's agricultural water
users. The program is open to agricultural organizations located in areas where a disaster
emergency has been proclaimed due to drought. Grant funds are used to offset the added costs of
leasing water during drought years.
