Water Productivity Benchmarking - how you can be involved
Australia is a global leader in water productivity and the cotton industry has shown continuous improvement in this area.
Through the Water Productivity Benchmarking Project, co-funded by NSW DPI and the Cotton Research and Development Corporation, improvements are being monitored in the cotton industry.
Like all data however, the more that's collected, the more powerful the final outcomes.
CottonInfo is working to support the project by encouraging new participants to the benchmarking process.
