Just another quick fix eroding the countries commitment to effective land use planning ?
The dynamic of soil erosion sedimentation especially after a cyclone like Debbie has not been considered . Nitrates too can turn to other nasties even IF the trenches were made to be fully functional under the surface.
I was reminded with all this limited relearning of how we planned to make quite profitable use of excess nitrogen in the Heytesbury - no subsidies required . Saw dust trenches for all sorts of other things .
Its just quite serious that its the political focus on the Great Barrier Reef that gets yet another bunch of world savers to fund some experimentation when farmers and local government need design with nature environmental engineers all over Australia .
Building resilience instead of wasteful reactions to disasters. This is a water control drop structure on one of Australia' s most productive dairy farms.
