This case study looks at trialling retention of corn stubble as an inexpensive way to reduce soil water evaporation.

A fact sheet about modular covers to reduce dam evaporation.

The redesign, refurbishment and automation of irrigation systems and their management is being driven by the need to: improve the water use efficiency of irrigation supply systems by reducing losses, so making more wa

This report examines the scope for private-sector investment in water savings from irrigation delivery schemes, particularly in light of current interest in improving water use-efficiency in Australian rivers.
