Irrigation and Agriculture

Efficiencies in irrigation practices can greatly contribute to zero hunger and sustainable water management. With demonstrated experience in the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia is sharing technical and operational advice and experience with Indo-Pacific Partners to support irrigation modernisation. The scope of these activities ranges from evaluating supply and delivery schemes to implementing policies and regulation.
