Summary

Surveyor's Report on WISALTS Soil Conservation System created by I (Ian) Gilmour.

Review Comments: Land is cropped every 4 to 5 years. Soil is in excellent condition. Top banks have vertical fall of up to 5 metres. Kent is aware some fine tuning may need to be done if banks become overloaded. All banks are on perched water table barriers. When moving off these barriers recharge of up to 10 feet to C Horizon are found. A backhoe was used for necessary depth. System will be completed May 1989.
