A Review of Geophysical Equipment applied to Groundwater and Soil Investigation
Using the 2004 ANCID/Sustainable Irrigation Travel Fellowship, David Allen conducted an international survey of over 100 geophysical instruments applicable to irrigation problems.
After attending the Symposium on Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems in Atlanta, Georgia, USA he visited equipment manufacturers and researchers in Canada, Denmark and Sweden. The survey of equipment details and prices is to be (more)...
This report - Ecological Risk Assessment Case Study for the Lower Loddon Catchment: Bayesian decision network model for predicting grey-crowned babbler population abundance in the Lower Loddon catchment - is the fourth in a series of five produced by…
This report is the third in a series of five produced by NPSI project UMO45 Delivering Sustainability through Risk Management. Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) is a formal process for determining the risk posed by hazards (stressors, threats) to the health of ecosystems.
ERA evolved from the need to develop processes that better deal with the complexity of aquatic ecosystems. That is, the (more)...
The work of Dr Bruce Cockroft has established the importance of managing soil structure in irrigated horticulture in Australia. In particular, he has researched and promoted management strategies designed to maximize the rooting volume of irrigated crops with consequent substantial improvements in yield. These strategies have focused on the creation and maintenance of good soil structure and structural stability and of low resistance to penetration, particularly in soils that are of poor (more)...
The Virginia Pipeline Scheme (VPS) is the largest scheme of its type in Australia (SA Water 2005; EarthTech 2005) and was established in 1999 to deliver unrestricted Class A reclaimed water to irrigators
on the Northern Adelaide Plains (NAP) in South Australia. The purpose of this research was to investigate and report on the various stakeholder perceptions of reclaimed water used in the VPS (more)...
