2009/10 Rice Water Use Target |
2009/10 and previous years comparisons |
The final rice water use target calculated from 1st October 2009 to 28th February 2010 using weather data from the CSIRO Hanwood site is 15.9ML/Ha. This target includes 2ML/Ha for filling up the soil profile, and 2ML/Ha for dry down/ drainage.
As you may be aware, Murrumbidgee Irrigation has an exemption to running the Rice Environmental Monitoring (REM) program again this year, however rice water use will be monitored and information recorded in our data base at the end of the season.
Growers will receive a letter detailing individual rice water use against the rice water use target by the end of April 2010.
