This fact sheet outlines the aims, processes and outputs of the project. It illustrates how Irrigation Futures is informing key agencies as they plan for future uncertainty in this important industry and region.

Salinity is an on-going environmental concern that causes damage to agricultural land, downstream water users, aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity, as well as to regional and urban infrastructure.

This publication forms part of the National Program for Sustainable Irrigation Irrigation Insights series.

* Focus on the Condamine-Balonne * Feature on soilwater monitoring * Reducing erosion and increasing infiltration with PAM

Polyacrylamide (PAM) has been sold in the United States since 1995 for reducing irrigation-induced erosion and enhancing infiltration.

The National Program for Sustainable Irrigation (NPSI) required cost-benefit analyses to be undertaken on a number of its research investments from phase 1 of the program, which ran from July 2002 to June 2007.
