Newsletter from the National Program for Irrigation Research and Development program.

Current knowledge concerning the potential use of GA technology in optimising irrigation water order scheduling is limited to research findings from Project UAD14.

The National River Contaminants Program is a significant research and development program jointly funded by Land & Water Australia and the Murray-Darling Basin Commission.

Newsletter from the National Program for Irrigation Research and Development program.

Discusses irrigation in Australia in the context of global food security, decreasing water resources and the contribution of research and development to innovation

There is a close relationship between how land is managed and the impact phosphorus may have on in-stream health.

Recent research suggests that another factor that affects bloom formation is the management of flows in both rivers and water storage areas. Rivers rarely experience algal bloom outbreaks during periods of high flow.

This report describes a project undertaken to examine human perception of native vegetation.

Catchment condition is ultimately a judgement that depends on biophysical attributes in the context of social and economic values. These value judgements can be made at local to regional scales.

Australia's inland rivers occur across the vast, predominantly arid regions of the continent, comprising 70% of its land area.

This prospectus outlines a new Land & Water Australia program that focuses irrigation research on critical natural resource management issues.

Cotton is a mycotrophic plant in which growth and nutrient uptake is usually, increased by mycorrhizal colonisation (Nehl et al. 1998).

How does riparian vegetation affect floodsΓ; Shade, temperature, large woody debris and river models; Experimental reintroduction of woody debris into rivers; Going with the flow: Cooper Creek floodplain; Stock manage

This factsheet is the master list of the CVAP series published in mid-1999 and updated in May/June 2002. There are four factsheets in the general CVAP Program category (G).

This report is the final report of the initial National Land and Water Resources Audit. It summarises the principal findings and describes some of the substantial uses already made of the Audit's information.

The Annual Operational Plan (AOP) - provides a detailed account of the specific developments and activities (including the budget) planned for the forthcoming year

The minirhizotron system was purchased and field use commenced in January 2002., A standard operating procedure (SOP) and protocols for using it under field conditions is, being defined at present.
