With ever increasing expectations for effective and efficient use of water the need to 'Make Irrigation Pay' has never been greater.
Following on from the success of the 2010 Making Irrigation Pay workshops that touched base with over 300 irrigators, Irrigation NZ will be on the road with an expanded program of 23 workshops during July and August. The workshop dates, locations, times, venues and the target audience are listed below. The theme for 2011 is 'Scheduling and Benchmarking for Irrigation Performance', however, by request all workshops have been 'tweaked' for their locations! Note: for Ranfurly the theme is different - 'Informed Decisions for Change'. Click here for the 2011 Making Irrigation Pay workshop tools, presentations & handouts.
