A Guide To Mechanical Range Regeneration, J. Addison Feb 1997

A Guide To Mechanical Range Regeneration, J. Addison

Bulletins 4000 -

The main objective of this Bulletin is to describe mechanical methods of promoting rangeland regeneration and how to determine which is the most appropriate to use on any particular site. Mechanical regeneration methods are not 'quick fix' but may be used to advantage in some rangeland regeneration strategies.


Spacing Water Points In The Southern Pastoral Areas Of Western Australia, Don Burnside, Adrian Williams, Peter Curry Jan 1990

Spacing Water Points In The Southern Pastoral Areas Of Western Australia, Don Burnside, Adrian Williams, Peter Curry

Bulletins 4000 -

An inadequate distribution of watering points in our pastoral lands, particularly in the saltbush/bluebush pasture, has caused localisized land degradation close to waters and reduced animal productivity (particularly in stressful times). From experimentation and observation, some generalised recommendations for water supply distribution in pastoral areas can be made.


A Report On The Condition Of The Gascoyne Catchment, D G. Wilcox, E A. Mckinnon Jan 1972

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.
