The Water Productivity, Efficiency and Sustainability Project (WPESP) will develop and implement programs to monitor and benchmark efficient crop water use for industry.
The project will assist growers to enhance water efficiency through new irrigation monitoring technology and management systems. It will provide Top End growers with the resources to efficiently use water and reduce the pressure on our water resources, especially in the Katherine and Darwin aquafers.
Key features of the project will be:
