Irrigation innovation in a changing climate

Product Information

Irrigation Australia Limited (IAL), the National Program for Sustainable Irrigation (NPSI) and the Cooperative Research Centre for Irrigation Futures (CRCIF) see the need for a paradigm shift in irrigation innovation. This need has been highlighted further by the climatic conditions of the early 21st Century, but it has been evident for some time. Such a shift would enable the irrigation industry to improve its water use efficiency, and to improve river and landscape health, while accruing long term benefits for the people of Australia. IAL, NPSI and CRCIF see the potential for Australia to be a world leader in irrigation knowledge and technology, and they see that this in turn, has the potential to generate significant economic benefits.
