Groundwater and Surface Water Interactions in the Fractured Rock Areas

of the South West of Western Australia

This report entails the component of works undertaken in the Wilyabrup catchment, located in the south west of Western Australia, near the town of Cowaramup and Smith Brook catchment located in the south west of Western Australia immediately south of the town Manjimup. These catchments were selected as they are both reliant on reliable water supplies to sustain established agricultural and viticultural systems.

Science and the irrigator a learning manifesto

Research Bulletin

This bulletin explores the relationship between local irrigation practice and adaptive learning. When combined the shared conceptualisation of real world problems leads to better industry outcomes. The research bulletin uses a case study of irrigating a sweet corn crop with waste water to demonstrate this process in action.
