💧Water security is becoming an increasingly important part of farm planning.

At Beyond the Flock, Professor Nik Callow from the UWA Centre for Water & Spatial Science (CWSS) will share the latest in farm water management, including key findings from the WaterSmart Dams project & a live demonstration of the Water Evaluation Platform (WEP).

This practical session will cover:
✔️ Key learnings from WaterSmart Dams
✔️ Emerging on-farm water management technologies
✔️ Strategies to improve water security & drought resilience
✔️ A live, interactive WEP demonstration

Bring along a laptop or iPad to join in the demonstration. A limited number of iPads will also be available for shared use on the day.

🌦️ How do you use long-term climate information when making decisions on-farm?

#WADroughtHub consortium partner, @CSIRO, is running a short 5-minute survey to understand what’s really happening on the ground.

If you’re farming, we’d really value your input, regardless of your commodity or enterprise size.
Your responses will help shape how climate information is developed and delivered to Australian farmers.

Current rainfall outlook for April through to August is below average. Thanks to a potential El Nino and positive IOD in July. Hopefully the outlook is more optimistic when I present at the Kalannie @GRDCWest updates on 10 March. Also at Wagin Woolorama 6-7 March.

@BOM_au outlook for March-May and April-June for drier and warmer than normal. Likely an El Nino this year - yes its early and skill is low, but all the ACCESS runs are in agreement. Unlikely for a positive IOD. Autumn break probably later than normal. #climate
