The CRDC funded “Automation of recycle system- IREC Field Station” project saw the supply & installation of variable speed drive pump, sensor and recycle pump automation technology to complement the state-of-the-art automated irrigation system in use.

This project enables IREC to demonstrate to irrigators and visitors the benefits associated with a fully integrated automated irrigation and recycle system.

It has been funded significantly by CRDC with contributions from MI, Bidgee Automation, Padman Stops and other commercial businesses.

The IREC Field Station will now be able to exhibit a wide range of technologies and, management practices as well as share knowledge gained from the various research projects taking place at the site.
