Agriculture Victoria is inviting farmers to join a series of water planning webinars running over five weeks.
Agriculture Victoria land management extension officer Clem Sturmfels said deciding on upgrades to farm water supply required planning and there was no one size fits all answer - however, having a well-considered plan can take the pressure off.
"Farmers may be asking themselves: do I build a dam, sink a bore or join a rural pipeline? These questions are front of mind this year after a lack of cool-season rainfall, together with warmer than average temperatures.
To assist with developing a water plan, Agriculture Victoria is running a series of relaxed and informal, morning tea webinars. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and share knowledge and experience.
Participants also will have access to a range of past webinar recordings, videos and resources as part of the webinar series.
Presented by Mr Sturmfels who has more than 45 years experience in the design, construction and repair of farm dams and farm water reticulation systems, the series is full of practical information and tips for farmers to help set themselves up now and into the future.
The webinars will be held at 10am every Tuesday from November 18 to December 16. Participants are encouraged to attend all five sessions.
