9 Chances To Improve Your Water Management Skills
The Water Education Alliance is hosting a free webinar series on Tuesdays over the next few months to help you get a better grasp on monitoring water quality, surface cleaning and sanitation and designing your own water treatment system.
The Water Education Alliance for Horticulture is working with University of Florida Cooperative Extension, OFA, FNGLA and the German grower association Zentralverband Gartenbau, as well as several experts at universities and companies, to help growers conserve, recirculate and treat irrigation water.
