The Irrigation Association is a trade association of about 1800 companies in the agriculture and landscape industries.[1]: 765 It was established in 1949.[citation needed]
Certified irrigation designers with a specialty in sprinkler, surface or drip-micro qualify to become Technical Service Providers for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) projects through the Natural Resources Conservation Service.[2]
In September 2010, the Irrigation Association began offering computer-based testing for certification exams.[3]
Smart Irrigation Month[edit]
In 2010 the association named July "Smart Irrigation Month" in order to promote water conservation in that month.[4] John Linder submitted a resolution to Congress in support of the initiative.[5]
