IA to Partner with IPPCA & ARCSA

The Irrigation Association is committed to promoting efficient irrigation and to long-term sustainability of water resources for future generations.

The Irrigation Association (IA) announces their partnership with the International Professional Pond Companies Association (IPPCA), and American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association (ARCSA) for the 2013 Irrigation Show & Education Conference, to be held November 4th - 8th in Austin, Texas.

Although this is a new agreement with the ARCSA, the IA has partnered with the IPPCA for the last two annual conferences. These organizations will complement IA's traditional Irrigation Show offerings with their co-located education events and exhibits.

''The Irrigation Association is eager to again partner with IPPCA and also welcome ARCSA to the Irrigation Show. We'll be able to connect with these related associations and the professionals they serve, as well as bring even more educational opportunities to Irrigation Show attendees,'' said IA Executive Director Deborah Hamlin. ''It's a great match for all involved.''

ARCSA expressed excitement with the agreement and the potential to cross educate and expand its influence into other water fields. ''The standard way of using water is changing,'' said ARCSA Executive Director Heather Kinkade. ''Using rainwater for those typical water needs is gaining in popularity and we want to make sure rainwater is used in the most efficient and safe manner possible. One way to do that is to team up with IA for this year's conference.''
