Understanding return on investment of sub-surface water management options for waterlogged areas in the Western Region (Albany Port Zone)

This trial aims to assist growers in making informed decisions around the construction of sub-surface drainage to reduce the impacts of waterlogging on crop production and farm profitability. By 2024, 45% of growers whose properties are affected by waterlogging will have a good understanding of the yield benefits and time to return on investment of installation of on-farm sub-surface drainage and ability to implement on-farm.

本试验旨在协助种植户围绕地下排水系统（sub-surface drainage）的建设制定科学决策，以削弱涝渍（waterlogging）对作物生产与农场收益造成的负面影响。截至2024年，在受涝渍影响的种植户中，将有45%能够充分掌握安装农场级地下排水系统可带来的产量增益、投资回报周期，以及该系统的落地实施路径。
