Description
CSIRO Land & Water is seeking a Spatial Hydrologist to play a major role in developing irrigation savings analysis and modelling science.
The appointee will work as part of the irrigation systems team to analyse off-farm water losses (water withdrawal from the river/groundwater through to reticulation systems to farms and return flows) using remote sensing and GIA techniques and multi-scale irrigation system models.
This position is based in the Irrigation Systems Group (G1.1) with strong outputs to the Water for a Healthy Country Better basin Futures (BBF) Theme and Rural Water Use Stream. The Irrigation Systems Group is concerned with multi-scale modelling science aimed at developing irrigation system science in the following areas
- Match landscape capability with irrigation systems,
- Multi-scale irrigation system measurement and modelling to quantify "hotspots" for water saving investments, and
- Developing water management interventions to maximise benefits from irrigation whilst reducing the environmental impacts within and downstream of the scheme.
A holistic irrigation analysis which can monitor, upscale/downscale water losses/gains and water quality implications from farm to the irrigated systems will contribute to CLW developing irrigation systems science and become a national and international leader in this area.
