IAEF Awards Trip to Irrigation Show

Michelle Bunch, a University of Tennessee student who promotes water conservation through the use of reclaimed water, was awarded a trip to the International Irrigation Show in Tampa, Fla. Nov. 14-16 by the Irrigation Association Education Foundation. Students were asked to submit a paper or project that encourages water management and conservation related to irrigation systems used in landscape or agriculture sites.

Several technical papers dealing with reclaimed water will be presented during the IA show: at least two papers on the effects of applying wastewater to grass and forage crops, and a paper on using air conditioner condensate and rainwater gathered in cisterns for irrigation.
