Welcome to nrmIRRIGATION,

A portal for regionally relevant information on irrigation and groundwater management.

Fundamental to all sustainable irrigation enterprises is the need to ensure sustainable groundwater management. In establishing this site the South East Natural Resources Management Board has a number of key objectives:

• To enhance the capacity of regional irrigators to improve productivity and viability through improved irrigation management,
• To assist irrigators in mitigating the consequences of reliance on a regionally declining groundwater resource,
• To encourage change toward best practice by providing current information on irrigation systems and management techniques

Note that a number of links will take you to web-based information relevant to our local irrigation industry, but developed outside of the SE NRM Region.

In order to make it easy to find required information, we have created five headings under which the data and links will be located. These headings are:

Resources Irrigation Management Planning Innovation Grants Program Case Study Research Cooperative Research Centre for Irrigation Futures Miscellaneous Calculations and Conversions	Soils Key components such Field Capacity and RAW. Polyacrylamides Salinity Management Nutrient Management
Scheduling Irrigation scheduling including plant, climate and soil based methods Crop coefficients and their calculation Frost Protection Scheduling for Salinity Management Evapotranspiration (ETo) Data Irrigation Scheduling Tools	Systems Selection & Design Surface Irrigation Pressurised Systems System Performance Testing Costing an Irrigation System Pumps Meters Bores
