More water is used in July than any other month in most of ares of the United States, with much of our water consumption going toward keeping lawns and landscaping healthy and green. Therefore, the Irrigation Association named July Smart Irrigation Month. Homeowners across the United States use some sort of irrigation system to enjoy their yards throughout the year, but most tend to overwater their lawn and waste water through inefficient practices. The key to efficient outdoor irrigation is to apply just enough water and only when necessary, which will result in a healthier lawn and landscape. Not only will water-wise practices conserve water, but it will also reduce water bills. Here are a few tips to help you save water in the landscape (via Irrigation Association).

Regardless of your industry, you can use Smart Irrigation Month as an opportunity to draw attention to water-saving practices and products. Promotional gardening tools imprinted with water conservation tips and your company logo can serve as a thoughtful summer gift foremployees and clients. A Cactus in Pot stress ball is also a fun item that can remind homeowners of the importance of water conserving practices.
