What is Smart Irrigation Month?

Smart Irrigation Month is an Irrigation Association initiative to increase public awareness of the value of water-use efficiency … and grow demand for water-saving products, practices and services.

Focused on July, traditionally the month of peak demand in North America, the campaign is designed to:

• Educate homeowners, businesses, growers and other users about simple ways to save money and water.
• Encourage industry firms and professionals to promote smart irrigation practices and technologies to customers.
• Help water providers minimize peak water use and reduce demands on infrastructure in their communities.
• Reinforce the role efficient irrigation plays in providing real solutions to today’s water challenges.

First launched in 2005, Smart Irrigation Month is gaining traction as stakeholders recognize the potential impact of efficient irrigation, in July and year-round.

Who is Netafim?

Netafim USA manufactures drip irrigation tubing in Fresno, California. Netafim USA, a division of the Netafim International Group, was founded in 1965 by farmers and agronomists on the idea that drip and micro-irrigation is a solution to one of the world's most urgent problems: lack of quality water for food production.

Drip irrigation offers a continual delivery of water and nutrients to increase the grower's ability to manage crop production, resulting in earlier, more profitable harvests, as well as enhanced consistency in yields from year to year. Energy, water and fertilizer costs are minimized to further improve profitability. With minimal loss of water to runoff and evaporation – as well as uniform application to plants, drip irrigation offers a world of benefits.
