It's STILL Raining! With Drought Alleviated, We Should Continue To Conserve
A word from Chris Butts, of Bogart, Director of Legislative and Environmental Affairs for The Georgia Green Industry Association:
As our traditional spring planting season approaches, we encourage regulatory officials and water providers across the region to react to these changing conditions by appropriately modifying local water restrictions in order to promote the planting of flowers, trees and shrubs.
We stress responsible modifications because all Georgians must realize the culture of conservation must continue even if rains continue and drought conditions are completely reversed. Our industry is committed to the ongoing efforts to encourage efficient water use by promoting efficient forms of irrigation, plant selection and proper planting techniques.
