For many folks across the United States, this summer has been bone dry. Much of the West and parts of the East have endured severe droughts, prompting strict water conservation measures in some communities. However, despite a lack of water, farmers still need to grow crops, country clubs want to keep their fairways lush, and homeowners hope to save their lawns and gardens from burning to a crisp. That's when they turn to the irrigation driller for help.
Back in late June, we spoke with several busy individuals who do irrigation drilling in very diverse parts of the country. While prevalent throughout the United States, irrigation practices and applications can vary greatly from region to region, so we thought we'd give you a sampling of what drillers are doing in some very different parts of the country to keep the land fertile.
