Rain Bird Report Emphasizes Need for Landscape Water Conservation

When homeowners think of water conservation, chances are they think of inside-the-home technology like water-saving toilets or practices like turning off the water while they brush their teeth.

To educate the general public on issues and best practices of lawn and garden water conservation, Glendora, Calif.-based Rain Bird Corp. released “A Homeowner’s Guide to Water-Efficient Landscapes.” The white paper focuses on providing insight, suggestions and solutions for incorporating water-efficient landscapes at the residential level

“This paper is an excellent primer for communicating the importance of water conservation using landscape and irrigation technology practices,” says Dave Johnson, Rain Bird’s director of corporate marketing. “It will assist homeowners in choosing the best options for incorporating water-efficient landscapes.”

The Irrigation Association, which dubbed July as Smart Irrigation Month, also promotes smart irrigation practices to property owners at www.irrigation.org/smartmonth.htm.
