The Irrigation Association released its Drought Summit Report late last year. We break it down here.
IA’s tips for the landscaping industry:
- Adopt a model irrigation ordinance at the local level to increase irrigation efficiencies in newly installed commercial and residential landscape irrigation systems.
- Authorize the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense program and incentivize the use of WaterSense-labeled technologies and services.
- Invest in improving existing irrigation system efficiencies and management.
- Work to improve nation’s water infrastructure, including conveyance improvements and increased storage.
