Water is a major issue in Florida, a growing state concerned with both supplying development and maintaining a valuable tourism industry. In this context, it's no surprise that Florida attracts some of the brightest minds in water management. One of these experts is the University of Florida's Dr. Michael Dukes.
Excellence in Education
The Irrigation Foundation recently honored Dr. Dukes with their 2014 Excellence in Education Award. This award recognizes someone working in academia and helping to develop professionals well-equipped for a sustainable irrigation industry.

Dr. Dukes will
formally accept the award later this month at the 2014 Irrigation Show and Education Conference in Phoenix, AZ.
Why do we irrigate? Dr. Dukes has answers.
In the meantime, Dr. Dukes took a minute to offer some insight about the role of educators in the water
management industry today and what motivates him as an educator, specifically.
Stay tuned for additional coverage of the Irrigation Show and this great honor for the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Department and the University of Florida family.
Great work! I am so glad we have good examples to follow in Florida!
