Abstract

ABSTRACT Is the evidence sufficiently strong enough to justify the belief that irrigation (water applied) has a beneficial socio-economic impact on people in regional Australia? Using correlation coefficients, it was found that while a strong relationship existed between water applied and irrigators’ incomes (0.91) and production (0.87), the links were much weaker to dryland farmers’ incomes (0.49), the wider total regional income (0.41) and total employment (0.42). Weak links were found to exist with employment density (0.24), per capita incomes (0.03) and a measure of well-being (0.11) of people living in regions where more water was applied.

澳大利亚灌溉及其更广泛的区域影响

摘要：证据是否足够有力，足以证明灌溉（用水）对澳大利亚地区人民具有有益的社会经济影响？利用相关系数发现，虽然施水与灌溉者收入（0.91）和生产（0.87）之间存在很强的关系，但与旱地农民收入（0.49）、更广泛的区域总收入（0.41）和总就业（0.42）之间的联系要弱得多，生活在用水较多地区的人们的人均收入（0.03）和幸福指数（0.11）。
