(b) The Arkansas Natural Resources Commission will form an agricultural irrigation science technical workgroup to:

1. (1) Review the water use reporting process for agricultural irrigation;
2. (2) Modify the ranges for accepted water use by crop type, if needed, for greater accuracy;
3. (3) Evaluate various quality assurance criteria and approaches for confirming crop type and acreage;
4. (4) Assess the adequacy of the surface water and groundwater monitoring network in providing confirmation of the aggregate or cumulative withdrawal of groundwater and surface water for agricultural irrigation;
5. (5) Propose incentives for agricultural users to report water use more accurately; and
6. (6) Periodically review advances in technology for measuring and estimating water use and water use reporting and provide recommendations to the commission on incorporating these advances in water use reporting programs.

(c) The commission will continue to improve awareness and education programs, in conjunction with conservation districts, to explain and promote:

1. (1) The water use reporting program currently in place; and
2. (2) Any future improvements.
