Water use after drought
Primefact Number: 722 Edition: First edition Released/reviewed: 01 Nov 2007
As you come out of drought, you should reassess your water needs as part of your property management plan.
As there is likely to be a shortage of water for irrigation in the months - or even for the next season - after a drought, irrigators should carefully consider how to make best use of the available water.
During drought, the quality and flow rate of water in streams may deteriorate. In tidal sections of coastal rivers, brackish water can move further upstream than would be the case in more usual dry spells.
This Primefact provides information on how to best manage these situations.
