Sub-Surface Drip Irrigation in Pasture Production
This project is investigating the potential benefits of subsurface drip (SSD) irrigation and identifying situations where its adoption should be encouraged. The experiment is occurring on two dairy farms to see how SSD performs on a medium soil at Byrneside (2 hectares) and a light soil at Bunbartha (1 hectare). The three objectives of the project are to:
- Assess the practical and economic feasibility of subsurface drip irrigation on dairy farms.
- Evaluate the economic, environmental and social consequences of subsurface drip irrigation on dairy farms and catchment scales.
- Develop material about subsurface drip irrigation on dairy farms for irrigators, irrigation service providers and irrigation extension and policy programs.
