Traffic - The modellers will follow the P2R WQ Risk Framework in terms of the percent of area trafficked . See Table 4.2 below for summary .

Cp Burnt Bare As below

Between 37 per cent and 60 per cent of the field is trafficked by machinery every year . Most machinery operates on the same wheel spacing and is matched to row spacing . Harvesters and haul-outs are on different wheel spacings .

Irrigation Production Indicators and scheduling

The primary inputs to the model include the Production Indicator for irrigation management , scheduling rules and irrigation capture to prevent runoff .

The modelled Production Indicators for irrigation management are shown below in Table 5.4 . The modellers will develop scenarios to apply irrigation and meet these criteria .
