Sub-surface drip irrigation on a vertosol under cotton: increased water use efficiency and reduced off-farm environmental impacts - final report

The objectives of this project were to: Compare water use efficiency (WUE), sediment, runoff and chemical content of runoff between sub-surface drip irrigation (SDI) and furrow irrigation on a Vertosol, near Emerald, Queensland; Identify incentives and constraints to adoption of SDI; Incorporate SDI into best management practice guidelines for the cotton industry. Created as part of rurual water use efficiency initiative.
