Abstract

This report presents the results of drilling programs carried out between August and September 1988 at field sites near Euston and Balranald, western New South Wales. The aim of the project was to determine whether clearing of native mallee (Eucalyptus spp.) vegetation in the region is likely to lead to significant groundwater salinity problems. The holes are located beneath mallee, and on land which was cleared 50 years ago, and has since been used for pasture and crops under a dryland farming regime. Samples were analysed for water content, chloride and matric suction. -Authors
