The Irrigation Association will hold a Landscape Irrigation Auditor course Aug. 22-23 in Columbus, Ohio.
Worth 11 IA CEUs, the workshop deals directly with the issue of wise water management. Participants will learn how to perform field tests on irrigation systems to determine their efficiency, and how to combine plant water use, soils and local weather data to calculate accurate water schedules for irrigation systems. The course includes a day and a half of instruction and class manual.
Following the workshop, the Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor (CLIA) exam will be administered.
Prerequisites strongly recommended include a basic understanding of sprinkler system operation before attending the workshop and taking the exam. Some suggested preparatory courses that are also available through the IA are Irrigation System Installation and Maintenance and Field Hydraulics.
