Smart Irrigation Month kicked off July 1

July marks the start of Smart Irrigation Month. Throughout the month, the Irrigation Association invites industry professionals to help promote efficient irrigation practices by sharing real-world examples with customers, communities and elected officials.  

The year’s campaign features easy-to-use outreach tools that highlight smart irrigation applications and practices in action while spotlighting the industry’s $30+ billion contribution to the U.S. economy. The industry also supports more than 200,000 jobs in agriculture, landscape and communities nationwide.  

Ready-to-use materials are available online, making it easier for irrigation to professionals participate without having to create content from scratch. 

Industry professionals can get involved by: 

• Requesting a Smart Irrigation Month proclamation from local or state officials to recognize July as Smart Irrigation Month.  

• Using the campaign’s marketing toolkit, including customizable social media assets, a media outreach toolkit and resources for engaging customers.  

• Connecting with local media by sharing water-efficiency success stories or offering expertise on smart irrigation practices.  

• Participating in Wear Blue Wednesday on July 15 by wearing blue, posting photos on social media and using #SmartIrrigationMonth.  

• Sharing customer success stories that demonstrate how efficient irrigation saves water, supports landscapes and improves operational performance.
