SWAT Executive Task Team

The Executive Task Team serves as the leadership of Smart Water Application Technologies, a joint initiative to promote landscape water-use efficiency through innovative irrigation technologies. The task team:

Oversees working groups that identify, research and promote technology innovations and management practices that advance efficient water use.
Makes decisions and creates proposals regarding time-sensitive or confidential issues that cannot be managed effectively in the larger group.
Reports on SWAT activities and accomplishments directly to the IA Board of Directors.
