Introduction

 

Centre for Land and Water resources include information designed to assist in making primary industry more economically and environmentally sustainable.

   

Irrigation

Irrigation Calibration: A series of Guides and Worksheets for on-site performance checks

Each of the IRRIG8Quick methods is based on in-field measurements to determine applied depth and uniformity. Equipment needs are basic: some buckets, a measuring cylinder, tape measure and some time.

Effluent

Farm Effluent Irrigation Calibration: Guides and Worksheets for on-site performance checks

DRAFT VERSION 2 - these will be reviewed when the new Farm EffluentDesign Standards are published.

As with normal irrigation, the IRRIG8Quick methods are based on in-field measurements to determine applied depth and uniformity. Equipment needs are basic: some buckets, a measuring cylinder, tape measure and some time.

EFFLUENT IS DIFFERENT - it focuses on OVER APPLICATION rather then under application and it includes calculation of nutrient load applied.

Two options are offered, one for system with up to 15% overlap of adjacent runs, and one for systems with over 15% overlap.
