Abstract: The sustainability of irrigated agriculture depends upon consistently achieving high irrigation application efficiency. High efficiency depends upon excellent design, as well as effective management. Much effort has been spent trying to improve irrigation management in NZ. Unfortunately, the design of many irrigation systems inhibits changes to management that would result in higher efficiency. A recent survey of irrigation operators reveals that this is often true of spray irrigators, as well as those using border-strip. Low irrigation efficiency threatens the renewal of water permits and thus the future of irrigated

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.
