Great presentation on reducing evaporation losses by from farm dams by @Michael_Scobie @sqnnswhub As we head into summer, what’s your plan for reducing losses from irrigation or stock water storage? Wind breaks, earthworks, anti-evapo agents, floating / suspended covers?

Really not sure about this as an ornamental. But at 50% off, I guess it is a bargain?!?

I wish I could be at the #21CFconf with the @RaidNetwork crew this morning. I'm there online and in spirit - but it's not quite the same. @usqedu @caeusq

What can be done if the corona restrictions don' t allow the installation of an irrigation system with an on-site team? Check out what creative solution this #IKI supported project in #Vietnam used to be successful 🍊💦➡ https://t.co/MZ6HGjDPVx

It's much easier to do fieldwork "in the field", but when we can't travel, we improvise. @iki_bmu @usqedu @BiovIntCIAT_eng DeRISK Southeast Asia provides a COVID-19 safe field irrigation installation in Yen Bai

Try the tool - see how much water you are losing and how much it would cost to save. https://t.co/YfzukSHEkE

EvapAdvisor provides a site-specific assessment of evaporation loss from a storage dam and provides an economic assessment of the viability of evaporation and seepage mitigation systems. The user...
Imagine .. up to 40% of the water captured in farm dams is lost due to evaporation. Across Australia this could be as high as 2,880,000 ML or about 6 Sydney Harbours ... give or take. Great work from @Michael_Scobie, @Schmidej and software guru Ralph Shippam.
