Abstract | Community concerns about environmental issues and scarcity of water in major cotton-growing areas in Australia have stimulated the industry to improve on-farm water-use efficiency and productivity. Governments and industry have made considerable investments to improve water-management outcomes. The data presented in this paper confirm that the research and development investments and activities of farmers in irrigation improvement projects have paid excellent dividends. For scientists, it shows the positive outcomes of previous research projects and opens up new avenues for further research. |
