Irrigation Conferences Make a Splash

摘要

Irrigation Australia Limited's (IAL) 2011 Conference will take place in Launceston, Tasmania, from 22-25 August. Trevor Le Breton, Acting CEO of IAL, says this year's theme provides an opportunity to highlight new projects and developments underway in Australia, with specific focus on Tasmania. The theme of the conference, Irrigation - New Horizons, Fresh Ideas - will introduce members and industry representatives to new ideas in irrigation, with demonstrations on how to apply these to farms, sports fields, golf courses, link parks and gardens. Irrigation Australia has also won a bid to host the 2012 conference of the International Executive Council for the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID), which will be held in Adelaide alongside lAL's own annual conference and the 7th Annual Asian Regional Conference. In winning the bid, Australia was recognised as having a number of internationally regarded irrigation projects that are important examples of how to use water resources sustainably.
