| Welcome to Australian Irrigation Technology Centre | |
|---|---|
| an independent testing facility for irrigation equipment in Australia | |
|
The Australian Irrigation Technology Centre was established in 1989 by the South Australian Government and University of South Australia to undertake testing and research of equipment for the irrigation sector. Testing and research of irrigation equipment conducted over the years includes a wide range of flow meters, pipes, pipe fittings, valves, emitters, drippers, time taps, moisture sensors and other hydraulic components. find out more |

| Our mission |
|---|
|
Only 2.5% of world's 1.4 billion Km3 of water is freshwater, and 70% of it is frozen in the Polar. The Earth’s hydrological cycle constantly replenishes the freshwater supply, but less than 1% of world’s freshwater is available as a renewable resources. Natural ecosystems, especially wetlands and forests, capture water and stabilize seasonal flow, find out more |
