Project Information

Summary:

This task is to determine how best the sugarcane industry in the Mackay Whitsunday region can meet the sustainability challenge of increasingly extreme events as are predicted to occur with Australia’s changing climate. In particular, will the current best practices be sufficient to keep downstream water quality impacts within the targets required for Great Barrier Reef water quality.
