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.
