Through the vision and work of the members and leaders of the Texas Irrigation Network, Texas’ water efficiency outreach efforts will be strengthened.
The Network offers resources to help develop or amend Texas Irrigation Best Management Practices, local ordinances, water district rules, TCEQ rules, and State legislation.
We support reasonable requirements for water conservation in landscape irrigation. And we will send a strong, credible, and consistent message to the Texas landscape irrigation professionals, regulators, and the citizens they serve.
We believe the Texas Irrigation Network would be an excellent resource partner.
For only $36 a year, please join our efforts.
