Water Use Efficiency

Explore the resources below or join us at an event to learn more about how you can improve your water use efficiency on your farm.

This project is rolling out between July 2024 and December 2025 across Tasmania. The project is being delivered by Pinion Advisory with support from the TAS Farm Innovation Hub through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.

Increased climate variability is leading to more frequent and intense weather extreme events like droughts and floods. Exploring ways to use water efficiently on-farm and adopting best-practice water management practices will help build resilience to these increased risks.

The aim of this project is for Tasmanian producers to build confidence and skill in their on-farm water management and are supported to improve their resilience to drought and climate variability.

Resources

As the project progresses learning resources will be added to the webpage. There are useful resources for both rain-fed and irrigated farming systems.

Soil Moisture Data to Drive Irrigation Decisions

Webinar 1: Early summer seasonal progress update
Date: Friday 13 December
Time: 1:00pm - 1:45pm
Registration: Here
The TAS Farm Innovation Hub, Ag Logic and Pinion Advisory invite you to attend the first webinar of a four part series on using moisture data to inform irrigation scheduling.

The webinars are suitable for primary producers interested in understanding how to use soil moisture data to inform on-farm practice and will be held at four critical times during the irrigation season.

The first webinar will focus on:
- A statewide update on early summer soil moisture levels
A comparison of current conditions to this time last year
How to use the data to make on-farm decisions
Registration is essential. Following registration, you will receive a confirmation email including the link to the webinar.
