Irrigated agriculture is an intensive user of land (1.8 million ha) and water (10.2 km3) resources in Australia. It produces in excess of $4.6 billion of farm-gate produce. The industry is facing major challenges of increasing productivity to remain profitable, of maintaining and replacing an aging infrastructure and of reducing its detrimental impact on land and water. This position paper examines the current irrigation industry and the issues it is facing. From this, the research priorities for the Division of Water Resources are indicated. The broader legislative, social and economic framework that influences adoption of irrigation research results is also discussed.
