Mulloon Creek
Location: Mullon, New South Wales, Australia
GPS coordinates: 35.16326, 149.34108
Parameters
Progress on a series of research projects on 10,000 hectares of the Lower Mulloon watershed to reinstate alluvial hydration and to implement other sustainable farming practices
Prior to implementation
Significant reversal of channel and floodplain incision; reinstatement of chain-of- ponds system.
After implementation
Evidence that the project is “banking” water during higher flows and maintaining higher low flows when the weather is dry. Costs of flow-slowing installations assessed in terms of farm return.
