Client: Queensland Commodity Exports
Scope:
Review of assumptions underpinning choice of the most appropriate irrigation system to provide flexibility between permeate and amended CSG water including:
- Required attributes required of the irrigation system in the context of target soil types and available plant water holding capacity
- Technical review of the suitability of alternative irrigation systems (drip, sprinkler, flood, pivot etc.)
- Irrigation system architecture design to sustainably manage deep drainage to groundwater
- Hydraulic design/control attributes for the most appropriate system architecture
Benefit to Client:
