Get Clout Where It Counts

Water resources are increasingly becoming 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 policymaker and those in a position to make decisions.

Our government affairs team works at federal, state, regional and local levels to monitor and influence regulations by:

• Educating elected officials about the economic and community benefits of efficient irrigation and long-term sustainability.
• Creating awareness of the benefits of Smart Water Application Technologies that increase water-use efficiency.
• Monitoring federal and state guidelines to be sure they reflect best management practices.
• Responding quickly and forcefully to provide industry input to improve regulations under consideration.
• Promoting stewardship policy goals that define the best in water resource planning.
