The WaterSmart Pastoral Production™ project plans to
combine the best of what is known about grazing management with the
best technologies in stock water storage and delivery on pastoral
properties. It aims to assist landholders on various types of
pastoral country. The project will develop property-wide management
systems that seek to improve productivity.
The essence of the project is to find the best way to
sustainably manage stock over normal wet and dry cycles across
pastoral lands.
The project will focus on water to help improve stock
management, control total grazing pressure and ultimately improve
the condition of pastoral country.
This is a Desert Knowledge Cooperative Research Centre (CRC)
Project, funded by the National Landcare Program (NLP),
administered by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Forestry (DAFF). Project partners are: Desert Channels Queensland
Inc. (DCQ), the South Australian Arid Lands Natural Resource
Management Board (SAAL NRM), the Northern Territory Department of
Primary Industries, Fisheries and Mines (NT DPIFM) and pastoral
partners, manufacturers and suppliers.
