“The focus of the irrigation industry continues to change with regards to water availability and cost issues,” says Christine Canepa, director of marketing for Toro Irrigation. “Now, more than ever, professionals need to be aware of new laws, regulations and technologies that impact our industry. This symposium is an opportunity for golf course superintendents to hear about best practices from around the globe, strengthening their businesses and preparing them for the changing irrigation environment.”
Held during the Irrigation Association’s Smart Irrigation Month, the 2008 WaterSmart symposium has invited well-known industry experts to present on a variety of topics affecting worldwide water management and the irrigation industry. Golf pro Jack Nicklaus will kick off the sessions, followed by presentations from Dr. Mike Hurdzan, principal for Hurdzan/Fry Environmental Golf by Design, who will discuss water conservation and the effects on golf course designs, as well as Greg Lyman, director of environmental programs at the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, who will address golf compatibility with the environmental movement.
Issues related to water management and irrigation best practices for the commercial and residential landscaping markets will be held on Tuesday, July 29. Sessions related to water-saving best practices for the agriculture market will be covered on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 30.
