Learning on the Run: Adaptive Salinity Management in the South Australian
Lower Murray Region
Irrigation Australia Limited Conference - Adelaide, 2012
Presentation Overview
Study Area
Finniss River
Murray Mouth
Rootzone salinity management study commenced in 2006/07 as a collaboration between the South Australian Research & Development Institute (SARDI) and the SA Murray-Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board
Water quality was an on-going issue for low yield wine grapes
Since study started significant changes have occurred over the years: water source, water availability, water quality, water taking rules
The presentation will highlight the value that on-going measuring and monitoring can assist on-farm decision making
Project Area (Regional) & Objectives
Study Area
Finniss River
Hindmarsh Island
River Murray
1. How much salt stays within the root-zone from summer irrigation and what is its distribution?
2. How does winter rainfall move salts within the profile?
