A Farm Scale Hydrologic Economic Optimisation Model To Manage Waterlogging And Salinity In Irrigation Areas
Published 2005-11-03Large parts of the irrigation areas of the Murray Darling Basin have shallow watertables that threaten crop productivity and financial sustainability of irrigated agriculture due to soil salinisation and waterlogging. ...Open AccessOther -
Measurement Of Losses From On-Farm Channels And Drains
Published 2005-11-03Water use and groundwater rises are two important problems facing irrigators in the southern irrigated region of NSW. Water loss through percolation has been extensively studied for irrigated farms and major supply channels ...Open AccessOther -
Remote sensing of irrigated crop types and its application to regional water balance estimation
Published 2005-11-03The strengths of moderate to coarse resolution satellite remote sensing in both identifying crop types and estimating crop area has resulted in the widespread use of this technology for agricultural monitoring. Although ...Open AccessOther -
Research Solutions To Watertable And Salinity Problems In The Rice Growing Areas Of Southern Australia
Published 2005-11-03The major threat to the sustainability of irrigated agriculture in the rice growing regions of the southern Australia is secondary salinisation as a result of rising watertables. Rice growing contributes about half of the ...Open AccessOther
