The Raising National Water Standards project funded by the National  Water Commission aims to develop a spatial algorithm for mapping plant water use (SAM-ET) to quantify multi-scale water productivity which is the most critical information for efficient water accounting and management i.e. the spatially distributed water balances from paddock to whole of the irrigation system levels. Such information is essential for achieving water use efficiency, quantifying net irrigation allocation requirements, water resources planning, preserving native vegetation and water regulation in any irrigation system.
