GLENDORA, CA, April 29, 2004 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- Rain BirdR Corporation, announced today the official release of a four-part white paper which examines the depletion of the Earth's supply of usable water and the recommended solution of efficient irrigation.

"This paper is an excellent primer for communicating the importance of water conservation to all audiences," said Stacy Sharkey, Corporate Brand Marketing Manager at Rain Bird Corporation. "It provides ways for all water users from residential consumers and government municipalities to farmers and groundskeepers of sports fields and golf courses - to incorporate water efficient irrigation practices into their daily routines."

Rain Bird's "Irrigation For a Growing World" industry white paper is presented in four chapters, beginning with an overview of the world's water crisis in Chapter One, followed by an examination of available options to address water scarcity in Chapter Two. Chapter Three expands on the option of water conservation through efficient irrigation and stresses the importance of proper irrigation design, installation and maintenance in addition to the benefits reaped by using water efficient irrigation products. The papers conclude with the Fourth Chapter that focuses on incentives, education and awareness programs used by governments, water agencies and industry leaders to encourage water conservation at the local level.
