This publication outlines the framework for forward planning research, development and extension delivery for the irrigation industry and to assist the industry to contribute to several Australian Government Reviews considering research and development and extension/knowledge management in 2010. The framework has been developed by the National Program for Sustainable Irrigation and Irrigation Australia Limited.

Fact sheet about evaluating the economics of dam evaporation.

Managing fertigation systems to achieve good productivity and avoiding fertiliser wastage and loss.

Evaporation water losses from irrigation channels are an important component of total irrigation system losses and could be as much as 12% in the Goulburn Murray channel network. The effectiveness of monolayers has been widely studied in still water storages. This research project investigated the potential of using chemical monolayers on irrigation channels in order to suppress evaporation.

The Irrigation Futures scenarios highlight that the future for agriculture is highly uncertain. Market preferences, competition and access, government policy, water availability, technology will all change and potentially place significant pressure on the viability of agricultural businesses. To stay competitive in a global market place, agriculture will need to be increasingly flexible and adaptable. One element that will support the development of flexibility and adaptability in

This guide outlines what, why and how to use recycled water in Australian horticulture. For those seeking more detailed information on recycled water use in Australia, particularly for agricultural and amenity uses.

The objectives of the irrigation benchmarking program are to measure aspects of irrigation supply which incorporate the holistic aim of LWRRDC, through the National Program for Irrigation R&D (NPIRD), which are to focus on sustainable irrigation

This report - Ecological Risk Assessment Case Study for the Murray Irrigation Region - is the second in a series of five produced by NPSI project UMO45 Delivering Sustainability through Risk Management. An ecological risk assessment (ERA) was undertaken in the Murray irrigation region in southern NSW to assess the risks to the ecological values (or assets) from irrigation and other

This information package was commissioned by the National Program for Sustainable Irrigation, a program of Land & Water Australia, the Cooperative Research Centre for Viticulture and the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation to provide an overview of the background, current developments and future prospects for implementing regulated deficit irrigation and partial rootzone drying.
