Abstract: Within an overall framework of promoting sustainable farming, MAF Policy has designed a research program with the aim of developing procedures to achieve sustainable irrigated agriculture and to have those procedures adopted and used by the New Zealand farming industry. In previous studies funded through the MAF Operations Research Programme, a set of indicators that farmers could use to measure and report on the sustainability of their irrigation management practices was determined (MAF Technical Paper 00/03), and Best Management Guidelines for Sustainable Irrigated Agriculture developed (MAF Technical Paper 00/05). The implementation of the Best Management Guidelines was tested in the 1997-1998 irrigation season (MAF Technical Paper 00/06) to find out if they were workable, sensible, and could be adopted by farmers.

Abstract: The aim of this project was to determine whether or not the potential for energy savings in irrigated agriculture and the associated CO2 reductions resulting from those savings could be significant enough to justify further consideration.

Pub Date: |

Abstract: This project was initiated to develop a prototype irrigation water use meter that could be easily installed and used with reliable results on all types of pressurised irrigation systems. The development of this meter was required to significantly increase the applicability and value to agriculture of indicators of sustainable irrigation and the adoption of best management practices currently being developed through MAF Operational Research Project contracts.

Abstract: Answers key questions of: Why irrigate? What crops and/or pastures are to be grown? How is it going to be done? Is it going to be financially viable?
------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract: This document is designed to complement the ongoing work being done to create a regional irrigation system to provide access to water for a further 30,000 hectares of the Wairarapa Valley.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract: This report poses the question "how healthy are our streams?" by looking at the biological and physical condition of more than 200 sites throughout Canterbury, representative of five major stream types. Sites have been assessed on a five point scale in terms of both biotic health and the quality of the habitat.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract: This report reviews the current state of water quality in river and stream types for Canterbury over the past 11 years. Classification of rivers into 6 main types enabled characterisation of each river type based on nutrient, microbial and sedimentation data.

Abstract: the Canterbury Strategic Water Study was proposed to provide fundamental information on: The potential long-term requirement for water; The capacity of the region to meet those requirements; The water resources that would come under the most stress; The reliability, over the long-term of water supplied from natural systems for abstractive uses.
