Water use and management in the Shepparton Irrigation Region - fieldwork

The Shepparton Irrigation Region or Lower Goulburn Broken Catchment, part of the northern Victorian Food Bowl, provides diverse opportunities for student fieldwork to investigate a range of themes and issues, particularly associated with water use and management.

This resource includes notes and supporting resources for fourteen sites between Nagambie and Barmah Forest. Further resources and teaching materials about the region are available in Water and Food: futures thinking, the booklet based on a regional project entitled ‘Irrigation Futures of the Goulburn Broken Catchment’.

Used together, the curriculum materials provide the basis of classroom activities to use pre and post fieldtrip and a ‘virtual’ fieldtrip if the travel to the region is not feasible.
