Salt Management: The Australian Experience
Salinity is the accumulation of soluble salts (predominantly NaCl) in soil and water, usually over an extended period of time. For most people the term has negative connotations, associated as it is with long-term land and ...
Factors affecting the variability of household water use in Melbourne,Australia
This study investigates the variability of household water use in Melbourne with the aim of improvingthe current understanding of factors affecting residential water use. This understanding is critical topredicting household ...
Ensemble forecasting of short-term system scale irrigation demands using real-time flow data and numerical weather predictions
Irrigation demands fluctuate in response to weather variations and a range of irrigation management decisions, which creates challenges for water supply system operators. This paper develops a method for real-time ensemble ...
Reliable high-throughput Phenotyping Tools to assess Adaptive Traits for Wheat in Drought Environments
This project successfully demonstrated the value of ICARDA’s elite drought nurseries for the CWANA region and highlighted the opportunity to breed for specific adaptations. The great environmental diversity of the CWANA ...
Seasonal Demand Dynamics of Residential Water End-Uses
Water demand prediction by end-use at an appropriate spatial and temporal
resolution is essential for planning water supply systems that will supply water from a
diversified set of sources on a fit-for-purpose basis. ...
Sustainable Intensification of Cereal Livestock Systems in Australia
Sustainable Intensification of Cereal Livestock Systems in Australia
Ammonia volatilization from nitrogen fertilizers applied to cereals in two cropping areas of southern Australia
As farmers in southern Australia typically apply nitrogen (N) to cereal crops by top-dressing with ammonia (NH3) based fertilizer in late winter or early spring there is the potential for large losses of NH3. This paper ...
