Blackwood Catchment : Beaufort Zone (Zone 4) : Catchment Appraisal 2002, Henry Brockman, Blackwood Rapid Catchment Appraisal Team (Wa ), Natural Heritage Trust (Australia)
Resource management technical reports
Using the Rapid Catchment Appraisal process, this report summarises current information for the Beaufort zone, located in the mid to southern part of the Blackwood basin, including parts of the shires of Kojonup, West Arthur, Woodanilling, Katanning, Broomehill, Wagin and Boyup Brook, Western Australia. Assesses the condition of, and future risks to agricultural and natural resources, provides information for reducing those risks and identifies the most suitable options to manage the risk.
East Mortlock : Catchment Appraisal 2002, Don Cummins
East Mortlock : Catchment Appraisal 2002, Don Cummins
Resource management technical reports
This report describes the soils, hydrology, natural vegetation and farming systems of the East Mortlock catchment and provides information on the threats to agriculture, infrastructure and natural resources caused by land degradation. East Mortlock covers over 800,000 hectares in the central wheatbelt. Rapid Catchment Appraisal aims to document salinity risk and management options by addressing all threats to the natural resource base, rather than isolating salinity as a separate issue.
Field Testing Of Abrasion Resistant Carbides, Kevin C. Orme
Field Testing Of Abrasion Resistant Carbides, Kevin C. Orme
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
Chromium, tungsten, titanium, and vanadium carbides were investigated to determine relative cost of operation for each in an agricultural environment. For use on a ripper plow, these carbides were field tested in two different soil types; one soil having a matrix of gravel and cobblestones, and the other consisting of hard dirt and large underground rocks. Each alloy was applied to a high carbon plow point using an arc welding process. Along with the welded points, cast chromium carbide was tested. The results are given in price per acre and not solely longevity of the point. It was concluded that …

Beaumont-Condingup Area : Catchment Appraisal 2002, A Alderman, Natural Heritage Trust (Australia)
Beaumont-Condingup Area : Catchment Appraisal 2002, A Alderman, Natural Heritage Trust (Australia)
Resource management technical reports
Using the Rapid Catchment Appraisal process, this report summarises current information for the Beaumont - Condingup area, east of Esperance. The object of the Rapid Catchment Appraisal is to assess the condition of, and future risks to agricultural and natural resources, and provide information for reducing those risks within geographic catchments and attempts to identify the most suitable options to manage these risks.
Mim And Nonlinear Least-Squares Inversions Of Aem Data In Barataria Basin, Louisiana, Melissa Whitten Bryan, Kenneth W. Holladay, Clyde J. Bergeron Jr., Juliette W. Ioup, George E. Ioup
Mim And Nonlinear Least-Squares Inversions Of Aem Data In Barataria Basin, Louisiana, Melissa Whitten Bryan, Kenneth W. Holladay, Clyde J. Bergeron Jr., Juliette W. Ioup, George E. Ioup
Physics Faculty Publications
An airborne electromagnetic survey was performed over the marsh and estuarine waters of the Barataria basin of Louisiana. Two inversion methods were applied to the measured data to calculate layer thicknesses and conductivities: the modified image method (MIM) and a nonlinear least-squares method of inversion using two two-layer forward models and one three-layer forward model, with results generally in good agreement. Uniform horizontal water layers in the near-shore Gulf of Mexico with the fresher (less saline, less conductive) water above the saltier (more saline, more conductive) water can be seen clearly. More complex near-surface layering showing decreasing salinity/conductivity with depth …
Generalized Geologic Map For Land-Use Planning: Jessamine County, Kentucky, Daniel I. Carey, Martin C. Noger, Paul Howell
Generalized Geologic Map For Land-Use Planning: Jessamine County, Kentucky, Daniel I. Carey, Martin C. Noger, Paul Howell
Map and Chart--KGS
This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site to site basis. At any site, it is important to understand both the soils, and the underlying rock.

Soil Survey Of Grand Staircase- Escalante National Monument Area, Parts Of Kane And Garfield Counties, Utah, United States Department Of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
This soil survey contains information that affects land use planning in this survey area. It contains predictions of soil behavior for selected land uses. The survey also highlights soil limitations, improvements needed to overcome the limitations and the impact of selected land uses on the environment. This soil survey is designed for many different users. Farmers, ranchers, foresters and agronomists can use it to evaluate the potential of the soil and the management needed for maximum food and fiber production. Planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders and home buyers can use the survey to plan land use, select sites for …

Nyabing-Kukerin Area Land Resources Survey, H M. Percy, Dennis Van Gool, Geoff Allan Moore, Noel R. Schoknecht, National Landcare Program (Australia), Natural Heritage Trust (Australia)
Land resources series
This report presents the results from soil and landform mapping at a scale of 1:500,000 in the Kukerin, Lake Grace and Nyabing areas of Western Australia. This land resource information has been collected to help improve the decisions made by planners, researchers and land managers. The information can be used at the regional scale, catchment scale and farm level. By improving knowledge of our land resources, more sustainable land uses can be developed within the region. The soil-landscape map of the area covers approximately 515,000 hectares and is included on the accompanying interactive CD-ROM. The map extends from Lake Grace …

Albany Eastern Hinterland : Catchment Appraisal 2002, A T. Ryder, L Crossing
Resource management technical reports
The Albany eastern hinterland appraisal area is located to the far east of the Albany Shire, is approximately 104, 770 ha in size and covers the Gnowellen, Pendernup and Sandplain East landcare sub catchments. The objective of Rapid Catchment Appraisal (RCA) is to assess the conditions of, and future risk to, agricultural and natural resources within regional geographic catchments.
Groundwater Study Of The Nyabing Townsite, Louise Hopgood
Groundwater Study Of The Nyabing Townsite, Louise Hopgood
Resource management technical reports
A groundwater study was carried out in the townsite of Nyabing, Western Australia. The study presents a model of the hydrogeology below the town and defines management options to help limit damage to infrastructure from surface water and groundwater rise. A drilling program and expansion of the network of monitoring bores were also part of the study.
