SOIL
CONSERVATION- example
The
diagram above shows soil conservation works for a 161ha property that
was badly eroded. The contour lines are contour banks constructed to
control runoff and trap transported water and soil.
The
hatched laneways are “flumes”, a grassed area that leads
catchment runoffs into an appropriate dam. The works also
incorporated the construction of 8-9 dams.
The
roman numeral within circles are land classifications according to
the Department of Primary Industry's classification system.
