[Agriculture and Horticulture ] Irrigation resources

[Ann.Fagan at dpi.vic.gov.au]

Hello All,
I have just attended the DPI and Shepparton Irrigation Region 
Implementation Committee Research Reporting Day focussed on a range of 
projects focussed on irrigation.  There are some new resources, tools, 
case studies and information online that may be useful for you and your 
students.  More will come available over coming months so I will endeavour 
to let you know when and where!

I attended the workshop because I am doing some curriculum writing (part 
time over next four months) for the Irrigation Futures Project - very 
exciting and interesting project that used scenario planning to look at 
the current irrigation practices and the future, under various scenarios. 
The curriculum project is a partnership with LandLearn so you will hear 
more about it through the usual LandLearn channels. 


1)  Victorian Resources Online > Natural Resources > Land and Water 
Management > Farm Water Management > Irrigation Technology > Irrigation

www.dpi.vic.gov.au  then select the link to Victorian Resources Online 
from list on RHS
 - includes 4 case studies of farms where changes have been made to or 
considered for irrigation systems.

a summary of that project. 


Regards,
Ann
