This document summarizes research on quantifying and predicting the impacts of forest plantation water use. The research aims to improve models for predicting plantation water use over seasons to help managers make informed land use decisions. It also seeks to estimate water use across regions with plantations to predict growth and production per unit of water used. Related research examines plantation water use interactions with growth to apply results at catchment scales. The overall goal is to better understand and quantify plantation water use to improve efficiency and ensure balance with other water needs.
