Managing water in a changing climate
​
Pork Innovation (WA) is pleased to deliver four regional workshops on water management for pigs and poultry.
Pork, egg and broiler production have unique water requirements. These workshops will focus on the impacts of a drying climate on water quantity and quality, the importance of water testing and monitoring, and potential mitigation strategies for our industries.
