U.S. Congressman John Duarte (CA-13) joined the H2OMICS podcast to discuss the  Water Infrastructure Modernization Act. This bipartisan bill was introduced with Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego to boost water conservation infrastructure.  A 4th generation farmer and California Central Valley native, Congressman Duarte brings a personal perspective to this important issue. 

A year ago, during Smart Irrigation Month, we launched the H2OMICS podcast with Calsense Director of Commercial Operations Mike Haldane as a guest. We discussed Irrigation Management as a Service™ or IMaaS™ - a solution that makes irrigation management more accessible to organizations that need it.
This year, Calsense is launching Smart Irrigation 2.0 an initiative leading the industry into a new era of smart irrigation; an era that embraces machine learning and human expertise to minimize water and labor waste and ensure our landscapes remain sustainably beautiful. Mike Haldane talks about how these technological advances will improve water conservation efforts.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal, and the Inflation Reduction Act, in part aim to address our current environmental challenges, including the drought.
U.S. Congressman Mike Levin, who represents the 49th District in California, discusses both bills and how our communities will directly benefit from them, specifically when it comes to water issues.
