  • Water Productivity Tool

    The water productivity calculation tool below has been developed by the NSW Department of Primary Industries in partnership with the Cotton Research & Development Corporation. Please indicate if you are willing to contribute your data to the Water Productivity Benchmarking Project. All grower data will remain confidential. Data submitted for collection in the Water Productivity Benchmarking Project Survey (funded by the Cotton Research and Development Corporation) is used to benchmark cotton water productivity in Australia to confirm the industry’s ongoing sustainability targets are achieved.  All information contributed to the survey will remain confidential. No individual information will be shared beyond the scope of this research project. For more information about how data is collected through the NSW DPI Water Productivity Calculator, contact Ben Crawley at email:  ben.crawley@dpi.nsw.gov.au

  • Irrigation Water Sources 

    The following questions are used to gather data to calculate the total irrigation water used during the selected cotton season. Please enter volumes in megalitres. 

  • Field Data

    in this section, add the soil moisture deficit in mm at planting and at picking. If you don't know this value, leave it blank or write 'full' if profile was approximately full or 'empty' if dry. Include refuge crop for area. In the last column please indicate if the field was pre-irrigated, watered up or planted on rainfall.
  • Additional Field Data

    In this section, enter more data about your fields. Information for each column is provided below.

    Irrigation System: siphons, bankless, pipes through bank, subsurface drip, centre pivot etc.

    Row Configuration: 1m, skip, double skip etc.

    Nitrogen Pre-Plant: Nitrogen kg/ha applied to field before planting

    Nirtrogen In-Crop: Nitorgen applied to field during season
