Monitor existing on-farm water treatment systems and expand successful technologies to additional locations.
Why it is important?
There has been significant progress in recent years engaging growers to investigate water quality and establish on-farm water treatment systems. Ongoing monitoring of existing treatment systems will help refine successful approaches, which can be established in other locations. Continuing to engage with landholders, using consistent water quality messaging, will build on existing momentum and help to maintain grower support.
