Well designed irrigation storages and water courses on cotton farms can aid in the removal of sediment, nutrients and pesticides from irrigation water and enhance their habitat value for native plants and animals.

The results of this study have revealed that the number of freshwater fishes (species diversity) of the King Edward River is higher than has previously been recorded for a Western Australian river.

There is currently a shortage of irrigation water available for cotton production in Australia due to recent climatic and legislative conditions.

Where remnants of old native vegetation remain, small nocturnal insectivorous microbats have probably provided agricultural production services by reducing insect populations in two ways: direct predation, and interru
