| Water use on non-irrigated pasture-based dairy farms: Combining detailed monitoring and modelling to set benchmarks. |
Environment | Water use on the dairy farm is important to know how much should be provided for the animals, for cleaning purposes, for irrigation and general use. It is normally a surprisingly high figure which therefore should be well-managed. In intensively managed, confinement dairy systems water use because of relative ease of determination has been widely studied, but few reports exist regarding water use on pasture-based dairy farms.
