South Carolina is vulnerable to Drought because:
• Predominance of dryland production
• Uneven rainfall distribution
• Soils with very low water holding capacity
• Soils with shallow hardpan
• Soils with high spatial variability

Promoting adoption of water conservation technologies by:
• Identifying interested farmers;
• Establishing “Prototype Fields”;
• Providing training;
• Demonstrating benefits of technologies
