Conservation Tip of the Week:  
Use more efficient irrigation techniques. Drip irrigation systems, automatic controllers with rainfall sensors and soaker hoses all successfully achieve more efficient irrigation and reduce water loss from evaporation. Individual plants that are visibly stressed also benefit from hand watering.


 
 

(Click on picture to go to the portal!) 		  Welcome to the NEW Georgia Farmer Portal! Introduced on 6/8/07 at the Georgia Water Policy & Planning Center, the portal is a website that gives farmers the ability to track water use against real-time benchmarks based on data from other Georgia farms.

"The web site is easy to use, confidential, and contains links to weather information, government programs, and agricultural news," said Hal Haddock, chairman of the Flint Water Council and a Georgia farmer.
