September 18, 2009, Phoenix, Ariz.—With widespread challenges faced by Bay Area Green Industry professionals in response to drought conditions, increased watering restrictions and the economy, Christine Hawkins, water management specialist for Ewing Irrigation Products, will provide education and water-efficient solutions to assist landscape and irrigation professionals in proactively managing resources and effectively navigating the changing face of the landscape and irrigation business.
“My goal is to help professionals identify water-efficient solutions, work within parameters of local and state watering restrictions, and find ways to grow their business in the process,” Hawkins said.
Hawkins will use her applied knowledge of water-efficient products and whole-system solutions to assist landscape contractors, irrigation professionals and landscape architects in the Bay Area with developing strategies to eliminate runoff, over-watering and water waste. She will also provide support for water districts and municipalities to develop rebate programs and promote water-efficient practices.
Hawkins joined Ewing in 2006, and has since served landscape, irrigation and water agency professionals in California’s Central Valley and Central Coast.
