Western Australia Soil Acidity Research And Development Update 2001 : Time To Lime, Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia

Bulletins 4000 -

This book for 2001 again summarises the work being carried out by staff of The Integrated Soil Acidity Research, Development and Extension projects in Western Australia. These projects are based at Agriculture Western Australia, The University of Western Australia and CSIRO.

Several articles in this book are an indication that the current round of funding for this work is drawing to a close in June 2002. The articles reflect our increasing understanding of not only the effects of soil acidity but also the time required for current practices of surface applied lime to ameliorate acidity in both the surface and …

Extent And Impacts Of Dryland Salinity, Rod Short, Cecilia Mcconnell

Resource management technical reports

The National Land and Water Resource Audit (NLWRA) identified Dryland Salinity (Theme 2) as one of seven major themes for an audit of the nation's land, water, vegetation and natural resources. Within this theme, Project 1 was developed to identify the Extent and Impact of Dryland Salinity nationally. This report details the results from work done in Western Australia (WA) to meet the Audit requirements.

Groundwater Study Of The Bencubbin Townsite, Cahit Yesertener, P Lacey, Shawan Dogramaci, F Lewis, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia. Rural Towns Program, Ali S. Mahtab, S Sharafi

Resource management technical reports

A groundwater study of the townsite of Bencubbin. It aimed to accelerate the implementation of effective salinity management options. The study consisted of drilling investation and installation of a piezometer network, groundwater flow modelling and a flood risk analysis.

Groundwater Study Of The Pingrup Townsite, D Pollock, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia, Louise Hopgood, F Lewis, Ali S. Mahtab, Anthony D. Barr, Muhammad J. Siddiqi, Ron Colman

Resource management technical reports

A groundwater study was carried out in the townsite of Pingrup. It aimed to accelerate the implementation of effective salinity risk management. The study consisted of a drilling investigation and expansion of a piezometer network, a pumping test, groundwater flow modelling and a flood risk analysis.

Blackwood Catchment : Katanning Zone (Zone 6) : Catchment Appraisal 2001, Henry Brockman, Blackwood Rapid Catchment Appraisal Team (Wa)

Resource management technical reports

The aim of this report is to document the extent of salinity and land degradation within the Katanning zone, Western Australia, and management options aimed at reducing recharge and land degradation.

Groundwater Study Of The Quairading Townsite, T Cattlin

Resource management technical reports

A hydrogeological investigation and a flood risk analysis were carried out for the town of Quairading with the aim of accelerating the implementation of effective salinity management options.

Extent And Impacts Of Dryland Salinity, C E. Mcconnell, R Short

Resource management technical reports

The extent and impact of dryland salinity in Western Australia was based on analysis of groundwater depth and trend and the risk of shallow watertables is derived from these two attributes. As dryland salinity is caused by shallow watertables, the risk of salinity is inferred from the risk of shallow watertables.
