Knowledge and activities won’t stop

It is clear from NPSI partners that although the co-ordinated collaborative funding model of NPSI is concluding, projects can have a roll on effect where industry is inspired to test and extend findings.

Knowledge is a cornerstone of irrigation management

The importance of research was highlighted in a recent speech by the National Water Commission Chair, Chloe Munro, who stated: “One of the cornerstones of improved water management is better knowledge, science and information. There has been significant investment in these areas, particularly through the programs that were funded as part of the National Water Initiative implementation package. Despite this, the gaps are considerable and the need for new (more)...

Knowledge needs for the Environmental Water Allocation R&D Program

This report and accompanying database identifies agencies and networks in Australian and state government agencies and regional organisations who are responsible for the development and implementation of environmental water allocation policies and plans, namely water sector policy makers at the federal level; water sector policy makers and managers at state level; and regional and state water managers in Natural Resource Management (NRM) organisations. The report outlines the (more)...

Knowledge needs for the Environmental Water Allocation R&D Program

The Environmental Water Allocation Program engages with water managers and regional communities to build upon knowledge required for managing our rivers and waterways in a healthy state. This foundation project gram examined knowledge needs for the Program.

Kantri is for Laif

This report is the output of the LWA, NAILSMA and Tropical Savannas CRC project, A Strategy for the Promotion of Indigenous Knowledge and the Development of Indigenous Livelihoods on the Remote north Australian Indigenous Estate.

Kantri is for Laif – Cultural Museum or National Asset

Country is Life

The project devised and documented ‘a strategy for the conservation and application of Indigenous Knowledge (IK) across northern Australia.’ The strategy is based on the findings that there had been limited consultation with interested Indigenous groups; undervaluing of IK contributions to land and sea management; a lack of coordinated effort to provide long term and appropriate investment in IK, a rapid loss of language (more)...

Watering wetlands, Impediments and challenges to the transfer of knowledge between wetland managers and scientists

The degradation of Australia’s wetlands has brought into sharp focus the need to manage factors such as altered flow and water regimes. Exchanging knowledge between wetland managers and wetland scientists and putting knowledge into practice is an essential part of this management. Yet environmental watering of wetlands is a relatively new type of intervention, especially where engineering infrastructure is used. It is largely restricted to south eastern Australia. Thus, while there is (more)...

Knowledge Synthesis for Watering Wetlands

This project, by Mark Siebentritt aimed to produce a discussion paper outlining the current scientific knowledge with respect to watering wetlands, the extent to which water resource and wetland managers have access to this scientific information and the impediments they face in putting the information into practice.

Knowledge Harvest

The Knowledge Harvest project aimed to raise awareness and adoption of NPSI research. The harvest consolidated knowledge from the last 10 years of investment including the recently completed Phase I of the Program, knowledge from NPSI’s predecessor National Program for Irrigation Research and Development (NPIRD) and knowledge from Phase II.

Scoping Northern Australian Seasonal Climate Knowledge R&D Initiative

The project team is developing a strategic framework for science investment in northern Australia in seasonal forecasting and applications. Outputs include a report summarising existing knowledge and knowledge gaps, and a draft science plan to focus our investment and hopefully attract co-investors.

Final report included a review of existing knowledge and opportunities, user needs, return on investment analysis and detail of proposed projects.
