Drainage, dams defeat salinity
Matthews, K. (2008) Drainage, dams defeat salinity. The Countryman, 10 July 2008. p. 22 [Publication] [Special Collections]
Summary
Peter Potter of Dunbar Farm, Katanning has made great efforts to help keep salinity at bay on his property. Mr Potter moved from Diggora West in Victoria to Katanning where the property was run down with only three dams and with most of the fences down. A water management plan set up in the early seventies to revamp the farm has been effective and compares with a dam for each of his 40 paddocks today. The Potters have revegetated, planted salt bush, redefined paddocks, sown lucerne and put in drainage systems to help stop waterlogging.
