| Abstract |
Three Sustainable Grazing of Saline Lands (SGSL) sites, have been chosen in the Woady Yaloak Catchment which lie within target areas for salinity management in the Corangamite Salinity Action Plan (SAP) of the CCMA. Investigations were carried out to characterise soils, vegetation, surface and groundwater at each study site, and a monitoring program was developed which can be used to evaluate changes to the environment. The three SGSL sites have been developed to be CCMA catchment health sites to monitor salinity changes in the Woady Yaloak River, from the land-use changes implemented on the three sites. |
