Abstract

A price can now be put on the cost of lost water from farm dams thanks to an economic Ready Reckoner. The calculator, that estimates costs of evaporation and seepage control
methods, is available online with other resources for farm dam management. These resources will give farmers, advisors and consultants access to the latest information.
