Abstract | Treated CSG water is an opportunity for irrigated agriculture. The water volumes are not expected to be large relative to existing irrigation water use within the Surat Basin but will produce significant economic benefits. The key risks of using treated CSG water for irrigation are the potential for rootzone and landscape salinity impacts. However these impacts are likely to be localised and can be minimised through appropriate irrigation design, installation, maintenance and management practices. |
