Abstract / Summary:

Preface

In this report the authors have summarised the main findings of an extensive field monitoring program undertaken as part of the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Catchment Hydrology's Project A1, entitled 'Runoff and solute processes in high water table areas: measurement modelling and management'. The aim of the project was to quantify the process leading to the export of salt from irrigation bays into the regional drainage network of the Barr Creek catchment in northern Victoria.

This report provides a broader perspective of the project than has been separately presented in scientific journal papers and academic theses (see 'Further Reading' section), in order to make the CRC's research findings more accessible to industry practitioners and other interested groups.
