Irrigation water delivery losses in Australia are equal in volume to the total non-agricultural water consumption nationwide. In a drought-prone country where water is such a scarce resource, precise water management is critical. Through the intelligent development and application of technology to the supply and management of water flows in irrigation networks, this project will deliver increased flexibility and security in water delivery to farmers, and substantial water savings overall. These benefits will lead directly to increased productivity and growth in the rural sector and wider economy, whilst providing improved environmental and catchment flows of benefit to all Australians.

澳大利亚的灌溉水输送损失相当于全国非农业用水总量。在一个易受干旱影响的国家，水是如此稀缺的资源，精确的水管理至关重要。通过智能开发和应用技术来供应和管理灌溉网络中的水流，该项目将提高向农民供水的灵活性和安全性，并在总体上实现大量节水。这些好处将直接导致农村部门和更广泛经济的生产力和增长，同时为所有澳大利亚人提供更好的环境和流域利益。
