The Rural Towns Program : Groundwater Modelling : The Merredin Catchment, J Matta
Resource management technical reports
Agriculture Western Australia (Agwest), as part of the Rural Towns Program, was engaged to test the application of a groundwater model for potential future management options against salinity for the Merredin townsite. This report illustrates some of the options that could be implemented to achieve the objective of salinity management.
Common Conservation Works Used In Western Australia, M G. Keen
Common Conservation Works Used In Western Australia, M G. Keen
Resource management technical reports
This booklet is presented to assist proponents and planners of conservation works by describing the common types used in Western Australia. For each common type, design criteria are listed along with the variables affecting increased risks associated with degradation or structural failure. This information will be useful in choosing appropriate conservation works to alleviate specific degradation in a safe manner.
The Physical And Hydrological Characteristics Of A South Coast Sandplain Site : East Howick Site Survey, Robert Anthony Sudmeyer
The Physical And Hydrological Characteristics Of A South Coast Sandplain Site : East Howick Site Survey, Robert Anthony Sudmeyer
Resource management technical reports
This Technical Report documents the physical and hydrological characteristics of a farmland site on the Esperance Sandplain. The site was located on 'Belalie Farm East' 110 km east of the town of Esperance in the locality of Howick (AMG 488900, 6277500) The site was typical of the sandplain landsystem which covers 35% (0.72 million ha) of the Esperance Agricultural Region. The farm was cleared over a number of years beginning in the 1970's and an extensive network of windbreaks established.

Deep Drains : A Case Study And Discussion, Russell John Speed, John Andrew Simons
Resource management technical reports
Typically, deep, open drains are about 2 in deep and about 1 in wide at the base and dug with a backhoe or excavator. The movement of groundwater is controlled by two factors. One is the physical ability of the material to transmit fluid. Permeability is the measure used to describe the ability of a material to transmit fluid through pores and cracks. It depends largely upon porosity (the percentage of the total volume of thematerial that is pore space) and the degree of interconnectedness of the pore spaces. The other factor controlling groundwater flow is gradient. George (1985) found …

Drains : A Method Of Financially Assessing Drains Used To Mitigate Waterlogging In South-Western Australia, John S. Salerian, D J. Mcfarlane
Resource management technical reports
Seepage interceptor drains are often effective in mitigating waterlogging in duplex (sand over clay) soils on hill slopes in the sout-west. Spoon and W drains are sometimes effective in removing excess surface waters form clay flats.
This report outlines a method to determine the long-term (1 to 20 years) cost-effectiveness of installing drains to mitigate waterlogging for each individual situation.

There are more than 900.000 acres of cl ass IIw land and 800,000 acres of class IIIw land in Kentucky. All of this land is suitable for row crop farming if it can be drained. Most of the problems are with internal drainage, some of which can be improved by installing drainage title.
Throughflow Troughs For The Measurement Of Shallow Seepage On Hillslopes, C J. Henschke, J A. Bessell-Browne
Throughflow Troughs For The Measurement Of Shallow Seepage On Hillslopes, C J. Henschke, J A. Bessell-Browne
Resource management technical reports
Throughflow troughs were installed to assess their effectiveness in quantifying shallow sub-surface flows on hillslopes. The majority of flow was found to occur from decayed root channels in clay sub-soils below the lowest gutter. The conclusion at this site is that shallow throughflow troughs installed on a small scale are not capable of quantifying all of the seepage occurring on hillslopes.
Evalution Of Drainage Tile To Alleviate Salt Building In Heavy Soils Irrigated With Brackish Water And Cropped With Rice And Soybeans, T. C. Keisling, J. T. Gilmour, H. D. Scott, A. M. Sadeghi, R. E. Baser
Evalution Of Drainage Tile To Alleviate Salt Building In Heavy Soils Irrigated With Brackish Water And Cropped With Rice And Soybeans, T. C. Keisling, J. T. Gilmour, H. D. Scott, A. M. Sadeghi, R. E. Baser
Technical Reports
The use of tile drains for alleviating soluble salt accumulation on silt loam soil was investigated during 1984. Although the chemical analyses of the floodwater and tile drainage water were very similar suggesting that the floodwater was moving to the tile drain, the overall results so far indicate that this is not a feasible solution owing to lack of significant drainage. Application of DRAINMOD utilizing soil and weather data from Arkansas showed no significant effluent from the tile drains for our experimental site during rice production. This was attributed to the extremely slow saturated hydraulic conductivity values for this particular …

An Assessment Of Wisalts Banks At Dangin, C J. Henschke, J A. Bessell-Browne
Resource management technical reports
This report compares two alternative approaches for the treatment and management of salt affected land at Dangin, Western Australia by determining whether there are benefits from a WISALTS bank system which would not accrue from standard soil conservation recommendations; comparing the costs and benefits of the two systems; and determining the nature of the effects of the two systems, particularly with respect to soil salinity.

Soil Drainage---Effects On Crop Production, Kenneth L. Wells
Soil Drainage---Effects On Crop Production, Kenneth L. Wells
Soil Science News and Views
One of the major physical properties of soil which is important to crop production is drainage through the rooting zone. This characteristic greatly influences aeration in the rooting zone, and the degree of aeration greatly influences several important biochemical reactions of economic importance to crop production.

A Proposed Method For Classifying And Evaluating Soils On The Basis Of Productivity And Use Suitabilities, Arthur Anderson, A. P. Nelson, F. A. Hayes, I. D. Wood
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
It is the object of this paper to present a method for classifying and evaluating the soils as mapped in regular soil surveys on the basis of land types, which are here defined as areas having reasonably similar productivity and use suitabilities. The standards used to differentiate land types will vary according to the desired objectives, but any material difference in yield, or in practices necessary to maintain a desirable level of productivity will justify recognition of land types. The proposed procedure involves a more detailed study of the influence which soils, slope, erosion, and drainage have on specific crops …
