Get Clout Where It Counts
Water resources are increasingly targets of legislation and regulation. The Irrigation Association brings a strong voice to regulatory discussions, representing the concerns of our stakeholders to a wide range of policy- and decision-makers.
Our government affairs team works at federal, state, regional and local levels to monitor and influence regulations:
- Educate elected officials about the economic and community benefits of efficient irrigation and long-term sustainability.
- Create awareness of the benefits of Smart Water Application Technologies that increase water-use efficiency.
- Monitor federal and state guidelines to be sure they reflect best management practices.
- Respond quickly and forcefully to provide industry input to improve regulations under consideration.
- Promote stewardship policy goals that define the best in water resource planning.
