The Irrigation Association (IA) selected July as Smart Irrigation Month for 2019.
In its 15th year, Smart Irrigation Month serves as the showcase month for the irrigation industry and the public to recognize and promote the benefits associated with smart and efficient irrigation. The theme this year is “Smart Irrigation in Action.”
“July continues to serve as our month to not only celebrate everything our industry has to offer but also educate the public on the importance of smart irrigation,” said IA Government and Public Affairs Director John Farner. “Smart Irrigation Month is our month. It’s our month to talk about the importance of water, the importance of smart and efficient irrigation and the importance of our industry to the growth and success of our society.”
To officially kick off Smart Irrigation Month, July 9 will be recognized as Technology Tuesday to help raise awareness about smart irrigation. The IA is asking everyone who supports the benefits of smart irrigation to wear blue on Technology Tuesday in support of Smart Irrigation Month.
The IA is encouraging those in the irrigation industry to showcase smart irrigation in action through pictures, videos and stories that highlight the benefits of smart irrigation. An online video contest begins on June 10.
