Funded Activity Summary

In situ desalination with membranes for climate resilient irrigation. This project aims to design a climate-resilient irrigation system that minimises evaporative losses and can operate on brackish groundwater without reducing crop yield or damaging soil structure. To do so, it will improve a sub-surface irrigation system that uses desalination membranes. The irrigation system is built on understanding water transport under tension caused by plant transpiration and identifying membranes that can supply water and remove salt without cativation.
