Experimental research into suil-water management, whether un a research statiun or on fanners'
fields, is necessarily restricted to ,spec'ijic sites over limited time illtervals. Meaningful extrapolation
is a problem. With this in mind,.·the SUA-Newcastle RWH project pursued a twin-track approach
in which the experimental. effOlt .. was lillked.to the development of a simulatioll model,
which was designed to assess the suitability of RWH technology intervelltions for allY Ilew site.
The simulation model is briefly described (lIzd typical examples of its use as a toul for agrotechnology
transfer are presented. The interface is user-friendly alld the n;.odel itself is designed to
work with readily available site data. Long-term simulation at a new site C(llZ be easily achieved to
permit evaluation of averagepeljOl:mance and/or variability and risk. The yield-gap ullder existing
practice can be evaluated alungside predicted peljormance under improved practice. Examples
of the application of the model are givell for a maize cropping system and for a rain-fed rice
cropping system in two different regions of Tanz(llzia. |
