Water Supplies On Wheatbelt Farms : A General Picture, I A F Laing
Water Supplies On Wheatbelt Farms : A General Picture, I A F Laing
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In good rainfall years, farm dams provide water fo more than 50 per cent of the total stock in the wheatbelt.
Other sources include ground water supplies and the piped Comprehensive Water Scheme.
The March 1970 census included questions on farm water supplies including how farmers coped in the 1969-70 drought.

Economics Of Farm Water Supplies, P P. Eckersley
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The economics of farm water supplies can be studied in two ways. One is to compare the costs of alternative ways of supplying a specified quantity of water to a farm. Another is to calcu;ate how mucha farmer can afford or will pay for a water supply.
I propose to look at these questions from the point of vieew of an eastern wheatbelt farmer, assuming that he must pay the full costs of any water supply provided for his property.

The Department of Agriculture, in conjunction with the Farm Water Supply Advisory Committee, has conducted farm wster supply surveys in many districts in the wheatbelt.
The aim of the surveys was to collect data to assess the existing water supplies, the potential for further water supply developments and to compare the relative difficulty of water supply development in different localities.
