"Note: (1) When Alan Anderson describes the BCCG funded perennial seed production project (27 mins), the pasture he is referring to is Tall Wheatgrass. (2) In the Understanding Groundwater section (34 mins), Tony mentions "Salt-tolerant trees such as Blue Gums", but it should be "Salt-sensitive trees". (3) When talking about the water use of crops and pastures (41 mins) Richard says "a lot of spare energy around" but it should be "not a lot of spare energy around."-- Back cover video case.

Abstract: This video explains the results of salinity research in an area of south west Western Australia receiving between 500 & 700 mm annual rainfall. The High Water Use Agricultural Systems project investigates ways in which farmers can reduce the impact of salinity by higher water use, increasing farm productivity. The use of trees and perennial pastures are two of the main topics covered. Farmers from this region discuss their experiences.
