About the Project

The On-Farm Water Management Project will help farmers reduce the impact of drought by preparing and implementing an on-farm water management plan – a plan that determines water needs (stock and domestic) and the capacity to meet these needs through storage (dams, tanks, waterways).

Landholders will then be able to undertake proven on-farm design and actions to ensure they have adequate water in the right places across the farm (through storage and reticulation via pipes and troughs).

Farm Water Management Planning  (FWMP) will be developed at workshops and subsequent 1:1 (or small group) follow-up sessions to finalise the plans. Field days at 10 demonstration sites establishments across the region will provide clear examples of proven design options and tangible evidence of the benefits of completing a FWMP.

Upcoming Events

Be Prepared, Informed, Aware, Equipped

Join us as at Murray Connect to hear from subject matter expert Adrian Smith, and project support staff from Western Murray Land Improvement Group and Local Land Services. We will be travelling to a nearby dam to look at what has been done there and discuss further benefits of dam and water improvement on livestock production. Complete your farm water management plans with assistance from the experts in the room and take home a resource you can use on your property.
