Economic and environmentally sustainable use of various water supply sources for irrigation

In spite of the availability of powerful, user-friendly, model-specific pre- and postprocessing software, groundwater modelling is difficult. One of the main reasons for this is the necessity to transfer large amounts of data into and out of models, and between models, databases and visualisation and display software. The Groundwater Data Utilities were written to complement existing models, and their graphical pre- and postprocessors, were developed in an attempt to overcome some of the (more)...

Improved climate forecasts for wool producers in Australia's pastoral zone

This report summarises the findings of a new climate forecasting technology available to farmers in Australia’s pastoral region. The Land Water and Wool Climate Map Arranger website program has allowed woolgrowers in Australia’s pastoral region to utilise seasonal climate forecast and risk assessment information. It is a complex program which calculates the climate risk assessment based on simulated pasture growth, depending on the climatic conditions ahead and the (more)...
