To provide the production (quality and yield) benefits farmers want from their irrigation investrment and to minimise its environmental impact, irrigation needs to be efficient and effective. This requires good system design, installation, operation and maintenance.
Irrigation installers need to provide irrigators with well built systems that are capable of meeting crop water needs in a cost (capital and operating) effective manner whilst adhering to environmental limits........ they also need to provide as-built plans so the systems can be successfully maintained!
Please note: The Irrigation Installation qualifications & training are currently under development
