Abstract / Summary:
CSIRO Land and Water Technical Report 24/00
To limit salinity increases in the River Murray, there are pressures to minimise salt leaving irrigated catchments of the Murray-Darling Basin. Part of this strategy is to store drainage disposal water in the irrigation areas themselves and use disposal basins. Unfortunately, there are no existing guidelines for siting, design and management of such disposal basins. The CRC for Catchment Hydrology and CSIRO Land and Water, with support from the Murray-Darling Basin Commission, have embarked on a project with the overall objective of producing such guidelines for the Riverine Plain of the Murray Basin.
This report is one of the key outputs from this project. It summarises the guidelines by addressing all of the main issues that should be considered in developing a drainage disposal strategy or designing a disposal basin. The guidelines give more background and detail. The importance of each of these issues is likely to vary across different irrigation areas and hence the guidelines must be interpreted in the context of local conditions.
