DEPARTMENT OF PRIMARY INDUSTRIES DPI Home Contact Us About Us GO ... Vegetation Drought Management Drought information for Victoria on the DPI website. Information on Drought and Dry Seasonal Conditions on the DPI website (includes information on: Rural Finance Corporation, Water Cartage, Grants, DPI Dry Conditions Coordinators, Drought Management Information). A full set of definitions of 'drought' can be found in Hounam, et. al ., (1975). Standard definitions of drought refer to the occurrence of water within the hydrological cycle. They include; meteorological drought: a combination of climate features that lead to a deficiency of water in the climate phase of the hydrological cycle. agricultural drought: deficiencies of water at the crop water/ soil moisture level. hydrological drought: deficiencies in streamflow or groundwater resources. Water supply droughts are combinations of meteorological, hydrological and storage water deficiencies, and therefore, depend on the circumstances surrounding the provision of water supply. Meteorological, agricultural and hydrological droughts are often out of phase with each other (Klemes, 1987). In the Wimmera, the sequence is generally meteorological, followed by agricultural and then hydrological. Therefore, in terms of water supply, drought is more complex than a simple rainfall deficiency. Water supplies have been established in the Wimmera region to provide protection against rainfall deficiency periods but there is an element of risk of not being able to provide supply on a permanent basis.

These conditions can be achieved through management of organic matter, which can increase water storage by 16,000 gallons per acre foot for each 1% organic matter. Organic matter also increases the soil's ability to take in water during rainfall events, assuring that more water will be stored. Ground cover also increases the water infiltration rate while lowering soil water evaporation. When all these factors are taken together the severity of drought and the need for irrigation are greatly reduced. Table of Contents Introduction Texture Aggregation Organic Matter and Water-Holding Capacity ... References Introduction With severe drought an all-too-common occurrence, some farmers turn to irrigation for a solution. Irrigation may not be feasible or even desirable. Fortunately, there are management options that can increase the soil's ability to store water for plant use. Soil can be managed in ways that reduce the need for supplemental watering and increase the sustainability of the farm. This publication details some of the strategies for drought-proofing soil and the concepts that support them. Any worthwhile strategy for drought management optimizes the following factors:

Drought Soil management following drought Introduction Soil structure and erosion Soil nutrition Long-term soil management ... Acknowledgment Introduction The principal aim after rain should be to get pasture or crop cover established on bare paddocks as soon as possible. This applies especially to the red soils, but is also important for the clays. Many soils will be in a different condition after drought to what is considered to be their ‘normal’ condition. Some will be bare and powdery on the surface, some will be further eroded by wind or water, and some will have higher levels of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) than expected. Loss of effective ground cover (due to grazing or cultivation) leaves the soil highly prone to erosion by wind and water. Research by the former Department of Land and Water Conservation’s Soil Services showed that erosion due to drought-breaking rain can make up 90% of the total soil loss in a

Goldhamer Irrigation and Soil Specialist University of California, Davis Drought Tip 92-09 is a publication series developed as a cooperative effort by the following organizations: California Department of Water Resources - Water Conservation Office Department of Land, Air and Water Resources University of California USDA Drought Response Office USDA Soil Conservation Service If you have comments or suggestions please email lawrweb@ucdavis.edu. Last reviewed September 9, 2003 Drought Tip 92-09 Managing Irrigation in Fruit and Nut Trees During Drought When water supplies are limited, growers must minimize water losses normally associated with irrigation and apply water only when the trees are most sensitive to stress. If the amount of water available is insufficient to meet orchard water requirements, the question is not whether trees will be stressed, but rather, when they will be deprived of water. Drought irrigation strategies must be judged not only on how production is affected in the drought year, but also on how production is affected in the following seasons. In fact, the risk of catastrophic yield reductions in nut crops is low in a given drought year, but substantial the following season unless effective drought strategies are used. This is true even if the drought lasts only one year. This principle was illustrated in a recent test in almonds using several irrigation regimes in a simulated drought year. In each regime, a total of 16 acre-inches/acre of water was applied over a season, but with different timings. The results, where most of the water was applied early in the season, marketable yield was relatively unaffected by the drought, but production the following season was reduced by about 75 percent even though the trees were returned to full irrigation the following year. On the other hand, where some water was applied just after the harvest, the following season's yield suffered only about a 30 percent reduction.

How to do that best is the focus of the 35th annual meeting of the Texas Council of Chapters of the Soil and Water Conservation Society scheduled at the Embassy Suites Hotel, 4250 Ridgemont Drive, on June 13-14. The public is invited and encouraged to join with SWCS members from chapters across the state for events on both days, according to USDA soil scientist Dr. Steve Evett of Bushland, president of the state SWCS Council. "Our focus this year will be on living and prospering under Texas drought conditions," Evett said. The program will include alternatives to make farming and ranching profitable in the state's water-scarce regions, through improved management and technology or by changing what is produced and sold. Three technical sessions will be offered, with continuing education units (CEUs) available for each. Advance registration is encouraged. Attendees may register early for all three segments by paying $40, or sign up by individual session and pay on site.

Access keys Skip to primary navigation Skip to secondary navigation Skip to content ... Safe, sustainable systems Preparing for rain Water management at the end of drought (grazing) Before the drought is over, you should assess how well your water needs were met during the drought. This assessment should become part of your management plan. You should take the opportunity to prepare your water systems so that they can make the best possible use of the rain when it comes and have the capacity to meet your needs through the next drought. You need to look at all the water systems on your property, including your domestic watering system. However, this fact sheet deals particularly with your stock-watering system and your irrigation system. How do I assess my stock-watering system? Ask yourself these questions: Were there enough watering points in all paddocks to spread the grazing pressure evenly? Were my tanks/dams big enough? What was the condition of rivers and/or creeks? What if watering points were inadequate? If there was not sufficient watering in all paddocks during the drought, make a note of dry spots and plan ahead for bores or other permanent waters.
