Irrigation education and training in Australia is characterised by fragmented, sporadic and diverse attempts at provision.

The new Phase of NPSI will focus its investment on answering questions around: plant performance and how that impacts on various farm irrigation systems; system-level sustainability: and tools for irrigators, water su

Extensive work on soil structure by researcher Dr Bruce Cockroft from Northern Victoria has brought the maintenance of soil structure into the spotlight as a promising area for irrigators to work on to improve their y

The Goulburn Broken Catchment is known as the food bowl of Australia. It covers 2.4 million hectares and has a population of around 200,000 people (Department of Sustainability and Environment 2005).

Salinity, waterlogging and nutrient runoff are major concerns for the irrigation sector of the farming industry in the Murray-Darling Basin.

Despite the widespread promotion and adoption of precision agriculture in dry-land cropping systems, the concept of irrigation being part of precision agricultural systems is still getting off the ground, both in Aust

This document was developed by the Irrigation Futures project team as a contribution to Goulburn-Murray Water's irrigation reconfiguration processes.

The kit provides case studies and structured worksheets for you to record your own figures in the kit framework.

Scenario planning is an approach to strategic planning.

This report is the third in a series of five produced by NPSI project UMO45 Delivering Sustainability through Risk Management.

This publication combines the experiences and insights of irrigation consultants and extension officers with that of social, agronomic and engineering scientists.

Water policy in Australia is undergoing considerable and unprecedented change.

* Focus on Murray Irrigation Limited Area * Burdekin groundwater sustainability initiative * Water use efficiency -what does it mean

Water storages (reservoirs) play a vital role in the supply of water for irrigation farms, serving to smooth variation in supply and maximise the economic value of water over time.In Australia, major irrigation water
