The Meaning of Smart Irrigation Month
July 19, 2022
Smart Irrigation Month was created by the Irrigation Association to “promote the social, economic and environmental benefits of efficient irrigation technologies, products and services in landscape, turf and agricultural irrigation.” Celebrated in July, as this month is when water is in highest demand, Smart Irrigation Month provides a unique opportunity to raise awareness about how to combat water scarcity.
Through innovating technology, products and services, the smart irrigation industry is leading the way when it comes to preserving Earth’s most important resource: water. While there are many examples out there of organizations, companies, cities, etc. switching to smart irrigation systems that include weather-based technology, there is a lot more work to do to create awareness about these technologies and make them accessible to as many communities as possible.
At Calsense, Smart Irrigation Month, takes a very important meaning, especially right now when many regions of our country are experiencing severe drought. Our team is truly passionate about what they do, and works hard every day to make sure people understand the benefits of using smart irrigation systems, including saving on money, labor and of course, water. We reached out to Calsense’s industry experts, to learn what this Smart Irrigation Month means to them.
