Abstract

Installation of tailwater reuse systems in irrigated farms is encouraged to achieve river water quality outcomes however, assessment of their efficacy in improving irrigation efficiency or intercepting nutrients and chemicals is limited to a few studies. The lifestyle, productive and environmental consequences of tailwater reuse dam on dairy farms was investigated using interviews, field monitoring and risk assessment in the Shepparton Irrigation Region (SIR) of Australia. Thirty one reuse dams were monitored during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 irrigation seasons, with water quantity and quality data collected.
