In the present study, field trials were conducted using the IrriMATETM system at a limited number of sites with the objective to demonstrate the application of surface irrigation evaluation to bay irrigated pasture and to indentify the potential gains in irrigation performance. Although the sample of sites was small they provide an indication of the level of performance across the Goulburn Murray Irrigation District (GMID) and the opportunity for substantial water savings through changed practice on-farm.
