The California Irrigation Institute is the oldest independent forum on irrigation and water in California founded in 1962. The primary purpose of the institute is to host an annual conference on California water issues, water use efficiency, water quality and surface and groundwater management. The conferences feature leading water industry experts, government agency heads, water district managers, innovative farmers and vendors with leading water saving products. The sessions aim to discuss research results and practical field experience.
The two-day, half day meeting is a mix of presentation by irrigation industry representatives, policy discussion and research findings - A little bit of a lot of different topics.
