July Is Smart Irrigation Month

Welcome to Smart Irrigation month!

What is Smart Irrigation month you may ask?

July is the peak demand month of the year for water, so the Irrigation Association created Smart Irrigation month to raise awareness of water use in the United States. They strive to educate everyone on how we might better use one of our most precious natural resources.

Founded in 2005, the month has steadily gained traction, particularly as parts of the country have experienced their own form of drought.

According to the IA, the month is focused on the 3 following principles:

• Educate businesses, homeowners, growers/producers and other users about efficient water use.
• Encourage industry firms and professionals to promote smart irrigation practices and technologies.
• Position your organization as a leader in smart water stewardship.

At Rachio, we fully embrace Smart Irrigation and the idea that everyone can do something to make their water use more efficient. It’s what drives us as a company, and we have the EPA credentials to prove it.

Throughout July, we’re going to start a few initiatives within the company.

1. First, we’re going to start an educational blog series about the best practices related to maintaining your landscape. 
2. Second, we’re going to highlight some of the trailblazing homeowners who are using Rachio to increase control over their irrigation practices, saving water and money in the process. 
3. Third, we’re going to highlight some of the fantastic irrigation professionals who are helping homeowners install Rachio Iros and keep their landscapes at peak efficiency.

Finally, we’d love to engage with you about your smart irrigation practices. Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or whatever social tool you prefer!
