"Good Water Management is the Optimum Use of Resources to produce the Desired Quality of Plant."
This requires a good understanding of Water, Irrigation, Drainage and Horticulture.
Education is the key to achieving this.
The Optimum Use of Resources is a win-win-win situation in that:
- The Desired Quality of Plant is achieved (the prime management objective)
- Costs are minimised (another management objective)
- Resources Use is minimised (good for the Environment). e.g. Water, fertiliser, labour, machinery, electricity...
