West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority (CMA), in partnership with Agriculture Victoria, is excited to share the results of the Sustainable Irrigation Program Demonstration Trials, a two-year project aimed at showcasing the benefits of irrigation technology using real-life examples from local farms.
Across the project, dairy farmers in central Gippsland successfully trialled new technologies that demonstrate savings of time, money, water and nutrients while protecting the environment.
“The CMA has been working with farmers for over 25 years, helping to save water and keep nutrients on farm and out of the waterways, including the Gippsland Lakes,” said Bonnie Dawson, Sustainable Agriculture Project Officer at West Gippsland CMA.
“This latest project is another example of the CMA, Agriculture Victoria and farmers working together on innovation in sustainable irrigation techniques that benefit agriculture, the community and the environment.”
