Modelling climate change impacts on sleeper and alert weeds

This project will model the change in distribution of sleeper and environmental alert species due to climate change and will assist in preparing a climate change weed risk map for natural resource management regions across Australia.

National workshop to initiate establishment of national standards for irrigated crop water balance and ETc field methodologies

A national workshop was convened by National Program for Irrigation Research and Development (NPIRD) to establish the need for national standards for irrigated crop water balance and crop evapotranspiration (ETc1) field methodologies. The workshop was attended by representatives of relevant state agencies and federal organisations. Participants all had a sound understanding of the use of ET in their organization at a technical level and were also able (more)...

Establishing a standard approach

Until this project was initiated there was no generally accepted version of an Australian framework of terms and definitions for water use efficiency. As a result, people used different measures for water use efficiency e.g. one person could measure crop water use to describe water use efficiency while another could use irrigation water use. While the answers were correct as far as the particular measures are concerned, there was no way of actually comparing them because they were calculated using (more)...
