摘要: The Burdekin delta in north Queensland is a major irrigation area producing over 35,000 ha of irrigated sugarcane and other crops. This unique because it overlies shallow aquifers relies heavily on groundwater supply for water. long-term 'health' the systems therefore critical to economic environmental well being whole region. Delta Water Boards are responsible management replenishment systems, promote total approach development adoption best practice options. Application analyses can assist determining private social benefits In particular, detail modelling incorporate scarcity water resources, its opportunity cost, evaluate alternative otions maximse net benefits. A multi-period mathematical programming model developed estimate responsiveness demand price changes practices. paper presents preliminary results modelling, aim improve understanding likely impact income levels growers when encouraged adopt more efficient
