Irrigation and its wider regional impacts in Australia
ABSTRACT Is the evidence sufficiently strong enough to justify the belief that irrigation (water applied) has a beneficial socio-economic impact on people in regional Australia? Using correlation coefficients, it was found that while a strong relationship existed between water applied and irrigators’ incomes (0.91) and production (0.87), the links were much weaker to dryland farmers’ incomes (0.49), the wider total regional income (0.41) and total employment (0.42). Weak links were found to exist with employment density (0.24), per capita incomes (0.03) and a measure of well-being (0.11) of people living in regions where more water was applied.
