There is a common perception, however, that many of these riverine waterholes are being filled by sands. Changes in land-use upstream and the effects of climate change have been suggested as causes for sand accumulation. This project will determine, whether there is evidence for sustained infilling of pools within two north Australian river catchments.</p> </div> </div> </div> </fieldset> <h2>Outcomes</h2> <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-project-factsheet"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/publications/registry/131">Sediment and Waterholes</a> </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://www.track.gov.au/research-projects/404" target="_blank">read more</a></p> 4: Material Budgets Daly Edith Mitchell -17.474467 142.568100 -15.093339 129.627686 Sat, 07 Feb 2009 14:51:51 +0000 Andrew Brooks 14 at http://www.track.gov.au
