WaterSmart Pastoral Production™ Demonstration sites will
feature as part of information/field days held in 2007 & 2008
to promote technologies available for effective water usage as a
property-wide management tool and to provide better production and
sustainable outcomes for pastoralists.
Demonstration sites will show the benefits of upgrading to an
improved property-wide water management system including modern
water retrieval, storage and delivery systems that will result in
time and dollar savings.
We will demonstrate changes from ‘old’ methodology to
new by monitoring and recording:
- Time saving for landholders
- Cost savings
- Lifestyle and business changes associated with time and cost
savings
- Reliability of new technology and ease of use/maintenance
At the field days, suppliers and pastoralists will be discussing
and viewing:
- Appropriate sorts of equipment and designs that would commonly
be needed to deliver water cost effectively around a property
- How to monitor the delivery of water to stock
through remote telemetry
- Evaporation, desalination and seepage control devices.
- Water as a property management tool
