Solid set sprinkler irrigation system, production, per ha {AU}| | AusLCI, U
Unit process Australia v00.00.000
Included processes:Included materials for irrigation system but not pumps. Remark: This inventory has been developed as part of the AusAgLCI initiative funded by a partnership of Australian Research and Development Corporations (RIRDC, CRDC, GRDC, SRDC, HAL, MLA, DA, FWPA) and Research Agencies (CSIRO, USQ and Q DAFF), with technical support from Life Cycle Strategies. More detail on inventory development can be found in the 'AusAgLCI Methodology for developing Life Cycle Inventory' documents located at www.auslci.alcas.asn.au. Bill of Material has been taken for the case study of potatoes. Usage pattern of this type of irrigation is taken as described in the FAO case study. Geography: Refers to an average production in Australia.
