OHBA has secured for our members benefit two of America’s leading landscape & irrigation experts to spend a 1.5 hr with us on this most critical subject. The importance of this event cannot be over emphasized. First up will be Mr. Andy Smith from IA (Irrigation Association), a 50 yr old non profit based in Washington DC that promotes the efficient use of precious irrigation water. Andy is IA’s National External Affairs Director and meets, consults and educates all over the country with Congressman, Senators, Governors, Municipalities and private contractors. Andy sees first hand our water shortage problem. Do you know that Montgomery County in our so called water rich area is running out of water? Andy will give us a clear assessment of what our local & national water situation is, what legislation to expect plus the latest in irrigation technology.

Next up is OHBA’s own Gene Barnes. Gene is a pioneer himself who has studied more about water and how it pertains to landscape than maybe anyone else. Gene owns Gallion Irrigation and is a national educator, published writer and govt liaison for The State of Texas. Gene knows technology and just as important, knows Soil Biology. Gene for many years has been employing not only the latest in equipment technology but also working to improve the soil so he gets increased water infiltration, better water holding capacity and deeper root depth + mass. We’re talking real, measurable data. As a result we are using a minimum amount of water and a maximum of healthy growth. The results are Amazing!

Several Strategic Assessments predict that irrigation water may be a thing of the past and/or severely limited.

To be of utmost value to our clients we must be able to effectively address their water needs. Our future depends on it.

Please register early as we expect a sell out.

Thank you! OHBA
