A Land Resource Survey Of The Fall Point Coastline, Broome, W.A., P A. Hesp, P J. Curry
A Land Resource Survey Of The Fall Point Coastline, Broome, W.A., P A. Hesp, P J. Curry
Resource management technical reports
The purpose of this study was to find a suitable location for a bird observatory and provide adequate coastal land resource data for the area. The main selection criteria and conditions were: the location was closely adjacent to major wader roosting and feeding sites; all-seasons access was required; the location provided a site of around 2 1/2 hectares to provide space for one or more buildings, camp ground and associated facilities ; anticipated access tracks, site developments and levels of use.

Water Erosion On Potato Land During The 1983 Growing Season Donnybrook, D J. Mcfarlane
Resource management technical reports
Soil losses over a three month period varied from 10 to 49 mm.. Soil loss was most highly correlated with length of slope of the plots. Other important factors appeared to be slope angle and soil textures. Grade furrows appear to be the best method of breaking-up long slope lengths. The low capacity of the furrows requires them to be on grades of about 4 to 4 per cent to prevent siltation and overtopping during high density storms.
Annean Station Management Plan, A A. Mitchell
Annean Station Management Plan, A A. Mitchell
Resource management technical reports
Annean Station's carrying capacity has been estimated at 8,340 sheep on its 168,539 hectares. The halophyte pastures of Carnegie Land System were in good condition while those of Mileura Land System were in poor condition. The wandarrie pasture of the Belele Land System was in fair to poor condition. This system comnprises 34 per cent of Annean's area and is estimated as capable of presently carrying 2,900 stock.
Agricultural Water Quality Criteria : Irrigation Aspects., P R. George
Agricultural Water Quality Criteria : Irrigation Aspects., P R. George
Resource management technical reports
Water quality criteria for irrigation are imprecise. The final result of quality evaluation depends on plant, soil and climatic variables all of which can be inter-dependent. A range of management strategies of varying complexity are available to mitigate the effects of poor quality water. The heavy winter rainfall in the south-west of Western Australia affects the applicability of published salinity criteria most of which have been developed in arid and semi-arid environments with little effective rainfall.

A Report On The Condition Of The Gascoyne Catchment, D G. Wilcox, E A. Mckinnon
A Report On The Condition Of The Gascoyne Catchment, D G. Wilcox, E A. Mckinnon
Resource management technical reports
Severe flooding in Carnarvon followed heavy rains on the Gascoyne Catchment in February 1961. The flooding and erosion were extensive enough to suggest that run-off from the catchment was excessive. Lightfoot (1961)* reported that excess run-off was due to degradation of the catchment area. This report will describe the catchment area in terms of the degradation of its rangeland and its susceptibility to erosion.
