Swing Fence Flood Crossing For Creeks In The Kimberleys, A L. Payne
Swing Fence Flood Crossing For Creeks In The Kimberleys, A L. Payne
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FENCING is the basis of the regeneration programme on the eroded Ord River catchment area, and the fences constructed must cross numerous creeks.

Because the rain falls on to bare, compacted ground, run-off is intense and gullies and creeks rise rapidly, causing serious damage to conventional fences and flood gates across watercourses.
