If you want to produce more bales of cotton per ML of water used, an irrigation evaluation is an important tool for improving your water use efficiency.

Groundwater monitoring - What to monitor. What equipment is needed. How often to monitor.

It is a cotton BMP requirement that water sources be tested for pH, salinity risks (electrical conductivity), and sodicity risks (sodium adsorption ratio).

In 2001 a comprehensive review of centre pivot and lateral move (CPLM) irrigation systems in the Australian cotton industry was undertaken by Foley and Raine (2001).

The aim of the 2015 cotton irrigation technology tour is to bring irrigation researchers onto cotton farms across three cotton growing valleys to demonstrate new irrigation technology.

Key points on - Head ditches, tail drains, siphons, irrigation scheduling, water application, irrigation evaluation.

Often storages are not built accurately to the design and actual volumes can differ by up to 20 per cent. In addition, a build-up of silt and slumping of dam walls can change the dimensions of your storage.

WATERpak provides technical information and practical advice to help irrigators improve irrigation practices, minimise environmental impacts and increase farm profits from irrigated cotton crops.

The Australian Cotton Water Story brings together research and development outcomes around water use in Australian cotton over the decade from 2002 to 2012.
