Water technologies

Linked to the Water resources Optimization Model where the data base supplied default or start values for instruments or technologies to

• Save water (demand reductions),
• Increase efficiencies (process or allocation changes),
• Reduce losses (seepage or evaporative).

WaterWare includes a collection ( as of R6.1) of CROP data sets.

The listing of crops can be sorted (ascending or descending) by:

• Technology name;
• Domain (group classification);
• Modification date.

The data set for a crop include in addition to the standard OBJECT HEADER and META DATA records

• A basic hypertext description of the crop (the hypertext window includes buttons for authorised user to edit the description text, and upload and integrate imagery in any HTML compatible format)
