The Australian cotton industry has used values of Gross Production Water Use Index (GPWUIfarm) to benchmark water use efficiency since 1988/89.

The Healthy HeadWaters Water Use Efficiency (HHWUE) project is helping Queensland Murray-Darling Basin irrigators invest in more efficient irrigation systems and technologies that reduce water loss and deliver long-te

Irrigators want to improve water use efficiency (WUE) in terms of bales per megalitre with the intention of maximising their profitability or $/ML.

The survey data showed a wide range of irrigation performance and water volume estimation and measurement across the industry. It found the average GPWUIfarm for the cotton industry was 1.14 bales per megalitre.
