HB 2893 establishes a grant program through the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension to fund water-efficient irrigation systems for Arizona farmers. It provides grants to replace flood irrigation with systems proven to save at least 20% of water (compared to flood methods), with limits of $1 million per applicant or $1,500 per irrigated acre. Recipients must use the systems for three years, report water savings, and cannot claim state tax credits for grant-funded equipment. The bill requires annual reports tracking water conservation, field locations, crop types, and soil data to inform future water management decisions. *(Note: The bill title "data centers" appears inconsistent with the actual content; the bill focuses on agricultural water efficiency.)*
