Water Pricing and its effects for 2011/2012

Water pricing across Australia has increased significantly over the last few years due to scarcity and infrastructure investments such as desalination.

A hectare of turf could now cost anywhere from $ 12,000 to $ 20,000 per year to be kept in a playable condition. The difference in the watering cost, some $ 8000 per year could be due to poorly performing irrigation systems or bad water management.

You would need to double the above figures for a typical oval

The commodity water can be up to 25% of the cost of the irrigation infrastructure. Water is becoming a significant contributor to the expense for keeping a sports facility or street reserve.

We would strongly suggest all sporting bodies and councils with ovals and major playing fields to undertake irrigation audits and our WISE system is the best on the market. It is objective (proven science) versus other subjective (verbal, clipboard).

WISE is priced at $ 1500/Ha so it is a small price to pay and you have a lot to gain....
