Abstract

"Progress of Research 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2003 Work continues at two sites in China, the Zhanghe irrigation system (ZIS) in Hubei and the Liuyuankuo irrigation system (LIS) in Henan, and at the Murrumbidgee irrigation area (MIA) in Australia. This Progress report is presented by sub-project. However, as we move into the modeling phase of the study, a major focus this coming year will be on integrating activities between subprojects. In the future, we plan to give more emphasis to presentation of results and dialogue at the system and farm level on issues related to potentials for improved management and potential for further water savings."
