AZUSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--California’s historic drought and Governor Jerry Brown’s recently mandated 25 percent reduction in water use have many residents and businesses wondering how they will be affected. Some may even believe that they must give up the plants, trees and gardens that add so much value to their lives. Today, Rain Bird, the world’s leading manufacturer and provider of irrigation products and services, has launched 25 Ways to Save 25, an educational program designed to help Californians and others reduce their outdoor water use by 25 percent or more while still enjoying healthy, sustainable landscapes.
“At Rain Bird, we’ve spent the past eight decades researching, developing and testing water-efficient irrigation solutions,” said Anthony LaFetra, Rain Bird’s president. “With 25 Ways, we’re passing along our knowledge to show Californians there are a number of practical options they can implement today to reduce their outdoor water use without giving up the many benefits of plants, trees, gardens and green spaces.”
