More about the webinar: Ongoing research from the University of Florida confirms that irrigation systems continue to be one of the largest users of water in urban areas. The Landscape Irrigation and Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Design Standards were developed for landscape and irrigation design experts, for use in the design and installation of efficient irrigation systems. These standards are also a tool for local governments, municipalities, HOA’s, and developers to implement effective outdoor water use reduction strategies and should be utilized when developing or revising local codes and ordinances., Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, LANDSCAPE INSPECTORS ASSOCIATION OF FLORIDA A LMTD AGRICULTURAL ASSOC

A new publication by UF scientists on the efficacy of fertilizer ordinances provides an overview of a previously published study that found local fertilizer ordinances can improve water quality, but the timing of ordinances can influence their effectiveness. Be sure to read the article and understand the impacts of ordinances throughout Florida. Also, bookmark the FFL Fertilizer Ordinances App for details on the ordinances in your local area throughout the year, https://lnkd.in/eBQcGfcc.
