The Economics of Sprinkler Irrigation Uniformity: A Case Study of Lettuce on the Swan Coastal plain

What is a perspective?

Perspectives are different frameworks from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. Perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management.

This report contains an analysis of the economic incentive to adopt more water efficient sprinkler systems using lettuce as a case study. The economic model draws on several Department of Agriculture studies on the performance of sprinkler systems and yield-water relationships for lettuces on the Swan Coastal Plain.
