Mini-Sites - CRC for Irrigation Futures

Mini-Sites

Cotton and Grains Irrigation
The Cotton and Grain Irrigation website contains a wealth of information, including irrigation resources, on-farm trial updates and easy to use web-based production tools such as the Water Benchmarking Calculator and OVERsched, which uses graphics to assist with the management of Overhead (Centre Pivot and Lateral Move) Irrigation Systems.

Fullstop
The FullStop Wetting Front Detector helps you to "see" what is happening down in the root zone when you irrigate the soil. FullStops are buried in the root zone and pop up an indicator to show when the infiltrating water goes past.

IrriGATEWAY
The irriGATEWAY server is an internet server that is being used as a tool for irrigation research. The server allows irrigation researchers to test online (internet) applications and build prototypes for a range of internet-connected services, such as SMS, Google Earth etc, as well as put up information about the various projects within irriGATEWAY.

Macuntyre Brook Irrigators Association
Macintyre Brook Irrigation Association (MBIA) aims to improve the capacity of its members to maximise the sustainability, productivity and profitability of their irrigation enterprises and to comply with regulatory and market requirements. To achieve this aim, MBIA is committed to taking a proactive role in the understanding and management of the natural resources in the Macintyre Brook at a farm and catchment level and to working in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.

Northern Australia Irrigation Futures
The NAIF project seeks to add value to government and community processes addressing natural resource management in order to ensure existing irrigation in northern Australia, and any new irrigation if developed, is done so sustainably within a catchment context.

South East Queensland Irrigation Futures
The website gives SE Queensland irrigators and industry personnel access to decision tools, water use calculators, and natural resource information. These will enable irrigators to improve aspects of their on-farm water management such as irrigation scheduling and pump efficiency.
