Technical Report
Salinity and land use impacts series report SLUI 46 - Investigation of deep open drains for lowering the watertable at Pithara.
Last updated:

This report evaluates the effectiveness of a deep open drain on lowering the watertable, and the resultant discharges from the drains at Pithara.

The project also investigated the difference in discharge responses between leveed and non-leveed drains.

This site was one of four drainage projects conducted under the Engineering Evaluation Initiative across the Wheatbelt.
