JULY IS SMART IRRIGATION MONTH

The Irrigation Association is excited to announce that July 2020 has once again been designated as Smart Irrigation Month. This month-long initiative is an opportunity for the irrigation industry to promote the importance and value of smart irrigation practices. The benefits of smart irrigation are all around us - in the food we eat, the fresh air we breathe and the yards and green spaces where we relax. Smart irrigation practices allow us to continue to experience these joys and necessities of life without wasting one of our nation's most precious resources: water. Learn more here.
