Total Channel Control
A Total Channel Control® (TCC®) system will be used to fully automate the Goulburn Murray Irrigation District’s (GMID) open channel delivery systems. This technology stems from extensive, award-winning research undertaken in partnership between Rubicon Systems Australia and Melbourne University.
TCC® transforms manually operated open channel systems from labour intensive, conservatively operated, high water loss irrigation supply systems into responsive, flexible and efficient systems that enable irrigators to get water at the flow rate and time they require.
It accommodates the planning, scheduling and mechanisation strategies being adopted by progressive irrigation authorities around the globe and it enables water to be supplied near on demand.
The TCC® system is recognised as technology that is revolutionising irrigation – not just in Victoria, but across the world. The GMID is the first large-scale irrigation area in the world to use the system.
