Townsville, QLD evaluates best methods for stormwater use with passive tree irrigation pilot

Townsville, QLD Tree Passive Irrigation Stormwater Pilot

In Progress

Townsville officials seek the most effective method for reducing potable water use and improving tree health. The one-year project evaluates how three irrigation methods divert stormwater from the Bohle River to trees along Mill Drive. Soil moisture sensors produce data for future comparisons of irrigation solution performance. Irrigation methods selected after the pilot's conclusion will help maintain the city's tree canopy while reducing polluted water sent to local waterways.
