The Circular Water Economy Starts and Ends with Agriculture
As a water industry veteran, I've seen firsthand the vital role that agriculture plays in the circular water economy. From withdrawing water for irrigation to returning it to the environment, the agricultural sector is at the heart of this holistic approach to water management.
That's why I'm excited to invite you to my upcoming webinar, "How to Standout on LinkedIn for Irrigation Professionals." In this session, I'll be sharing my insights on leveraging the power of LinkedIn to elevate your personal brand and position yourself as a thought leader in the irrigation and water management space. In addition, I’ll present some of the strategies used by people like Adam Tank , Alex Passini , Walid Khoury ?? , Mary Conley Eggert , Antoine Walter , Bj?rn Otto and others who I see as the leading water professionals on this platform.
The Importance of the Circular Water Economy
The circular water economy is a concept that recognizes the interconnectedness of the water cycle, where water is continuously recycled and reused, rather than being treated as a linear resource. In this system, agriculture plays a pivotal role as the steward of water, responsible for withdrawing, using, and returning this precious resource to the environment.
By optimizing irrigation practices, implementing water-saving technologies, and promoting sustainable water management, the agricultural sector can help close the loop and ensure the long-term sustainability of our water resources. This is crucial, as the world faces growing water scarcity and the need to balance the competing demands of agriculture, industry, and domestic use.
Leveraging LinkedIn to Showcase Your Expertise
In today's digital landscape, LinkedIn has become an invaluable tool for water professionals to connect, share knowledge, and position themselves as experts in their field. By actively engaging on the platform, you can:
-Showcase your expertise and thought leadership through engaging content and discussions
-Build a strong professional network and connect with potential clients, partners, and industry peers
-Stay up-to-date on the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in water management and irrigation
-Attract new opportunities, such as speaking engagements, consulting projects, or job offers

6 个月You are always so impeccably timed, Jim!... I just got off call with the folks at SiteOne Landscape Supply, who are not quite agriculture, but definitely guiding the world on efficient irrigation, and this brand-building webinar appears perfect for their distributors. Will share and join if my schedle permits! ?? ?? ??

6 个月Yeah, unfortunately, it's not that simple. Sustainable ag practices are key, but we all know, here in the US Southwest that Lakes Mead and Powell, as well as many other impoundments, won't recover and refill from conservation alone. Recycling... yes, that works if you can manage the salt content. By the time Colorado River water makes it to SoCal in late summer, it can reach salinity levels of 1,000ppm/tds. In short, sustainable and environmentally friendly desalination is what is needed to augment naturally occurring water. Best practice ag irrigation is pretty pointless if you don't have enough water or if your irrigation water is high in salinity. The atmospheric rivers are only a temporary reprieve.
