Welcome to the WaterSmart Dams Podcast, where we dive into the world of water management for sustainable agriculture. Brought to you by Icon Agriculture and Compass Agricultural Alliance this series is hosted by Lavinia Wehr, with special insights from Shane from Darkan Earthmoving. Brought to you by Agsocial, who handled all editing and production, this series is dedicated to sharing practical tips, expert advice, and innovative techniques for #WaterSmart farming.

Today, we’ll kick things off by looking into the critical first step of any water management project: site selection. We’ll explore how to determine the best location for your dam or water catchment, what to look for in soil types, and the key factors to avoid. Join us as we uncover the foundation of successful water management.
