Soil assessments are performed to determine the characteristics and water holding capacity of particular soils. This in turn assists in working out what to plant. In the below video Maxine Schache from Agriculture Victoria in Irymple demonstrates a soil pit assessment. Resources from the video can be found below. *Placeholder [...]
Irrigators in the Mallee irrigation region can access weekly evapotranspiration (ET) data and related resources to help plan and refine irrigation programs for their industry. These publications combine daily weather and climate data with evapotranspiration and crop coefficients to estimate crop water requirements. Use the webpages listed below to view [...]

In irrigated horticulture it is essential to understand soil characteristics. It allows growers to maximise the efficiency of irrigation system design and to support crop type selection. It’s also important to understand the difference between different soil survey and soil analysis techniques so the appropriate method can be chosen. In [...]
Human eyes can see colour in the visible spectrum of light, such as the colours of the rainbow (blue, green and red visible light bands). Multispectral sensors or cameras from drones, satellites or other aerial vehicles can see these colours as well as the bands of light in the broader [...]
Remote sensing refers to a suite of technologies that use sensors to obtain information about an object without making contact with it. The sensors used to collect this information come in two forms, passive and active. Passive sensors capture information that is reflected or emitted by the object being observed. [...]
On-ground works are nearing completion for the Connections Project, the $2 billion investment in irrigation infrastructure modernisation in the Goulburn-Murray Irrigation District (GMID). Once complete, the final water recovery can be confirmed and distributed. The Irrigators’ Share Consultative Committee (ISCC) - appointed by the Minister for Water in June 2019 [...]
The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) needs your input to proposed changes to the Goulburn to Murray trade rule.
