WaterSmart Dams
Keep up to date with happenings for this exciting State-wide multi-disciplinary project. FBG is thrilled to bring 3 demonstration sites to the table with the aim of showcasing several diverse examples of how farmers may look to improve their water security and/or improve water quality.
We currently have two sites up and running, and a third in the pipeline:
Jacup Community Dam (hosted by Mark Lester) - are used CBH tarps a viable catchment lining option?
Dam expansion and evaporation suppression technologies (hosted by the Jones family at Gairdner). Are you appropriately matching your dam catchment to the size of your water storage (or vice versa)? And what are some methods to reduce evaporation? We will be demonstrating a Daisy dam cover this summer.
Improving water quality using emerging filtration system technology (hosted by Dave Turner). How to make the most of lower quality dam water to drive spray efficacy?
