IA Announces New Smart Water Awards

Smart Water Application Technologies (SWAT) works to define best practices for irrigation and water management; develop partnerships between water providers, irrigation industry representatives, government agencies and landscape professionals in water resource management; and educate stakeholders about advanced irrigation technologies.


The Irrigation Association has announced two new Smart Water Application Technologies (SWAT) awards aimed at recognizing water providers for efforts to conserve water through educational programs that promote efficient outdoor water usage.

This will be the first year that the IA will present the SWAT awards. The program will annually recognize water providers with two honors:
• Outstanding Industry Partnership Award - This award recognizes efforts to increase partnerships with landscape and/or irrigation professionals.
• Outstanding Public Engagement Award - This award recognizes work to engage and educate residential and commercial users on smart and efficient technologies, best irrigation practices and programs related to outdoor water conservation.
The inaugural SWAT awards will be presented during the 2019 WaterSmart Innovations Conference and Exposition on Wednesday, October 2, in Las Vegas.

Applications for the awards will be accepted starting June 3 and ending July 31. To download the application and learn more about the awards, click HERE.
