Who We Are

The Louisiana Irrigation Association (LIA) was founded in 2005 primarily to provide classroom training for Landscape Irrigation Contractors to be proficiently trained enough to pass the Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry’s (LDAF) Landscape Irrigation Contractors license exam. In addition, every three years, LDAF requires that Landscape Irrigation Contractors must be recertified by taking an 8 hour irrigation training course in order to renew their license. LIA provides classroom recertification training every year to help Landscape Irrigation Contractors satisfy LDAF’s requirement (CEU’s) for training.

LIA also helps to promote efficient irrigation practices to other agencies, organizations, irrigation contractors, the irrigation industry and the general population through proper design, installation and management of irrigation systems.
