Gypsum Research Trial
Specifications
-
Scope:
Establishment and design of gypsum application rate and drip irrigation wetting pattern analysis to:
- Quantify the effect of surface gypsum application on soil structure decline due to the application of amended CSG water by drip irrigation
- Test a rapid observation technique to observe wetted patterns under drippers and cross correlate with quantitative measurements to determine if changes in hydraulic conductivity can be observed and hence provide a rapid/low cost assessment technique for monitoring soils structural condition
-
Benefit to Client:
The project addressed key management and monitoring issues to inform adaptive management actions and provide increased confidence in the sustainability of irrigation system performance.
