NPSI Strategic Plan Phase 2

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 suppliers and policy makers to measure change. Research will be commissioned to provide either new information (smart science) or development; ensuring that the new information can be readily used by practitioners, planners and policy makers.

National Program for Sustainable Irrigation: Strategic Plan

The sustainability of irrigation is a key component of water resource management. Increased demand for water for agricultural, industrial and urban uses has put the management of Australia’s river and groundwater systems under scrutiny. Management must balance the various water use needs, providing also for in-stream requirements of biodiversity and water quality.

Finding the common ground

No single methodology is used to calculate crop evapotranspiration (ETc) in Australia. This reduces confidence in the various estimates of crop water use, which are an important piece of base information that underpins much water policy. The National Action Plan on Salinity relies on an accurate understanding of ground water recharge rates in both irrigated and dryland farming systems. Estimates of recharge rates are directly affected by estimates of crop water use as both are elements of (more)...
