Agricultural Land Suitability Series ? Report 16b

This report describes the soil and land capability study of the Lower Weaber and Keep River Plains (23,716 ha). This was a joint Commonwealth and Northern Territory project and is one of a number of parallel studies undertaken to better understand the soil and water resources within the Lower Weaber and Keep River Plains. The investigation has assessed land based constraints and determined land capability outcomes for potential future agricultural development. Section 2 of the study, which encompasses 16,929 ha of the Lower Keep River Plain has reinterpreted legacy soil data only. Pre-existing mapping in the Lower Keep was re-examined with the aid of additional landscape observations and high resolution aerial imagery. As a consequence the outcomes are of lower confidence, and convey less certainty with regard to land capability outcomes.Executive Summary; Table of Contents; 1. Introduction; 2. Methodology; 3.

Soil and Land Suitability Assessment for Irrigated Agriculture in the Tennant Creek West Area

Made available by the Northern Territory Library via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).This report describes the dominant landform, soils and vegetation of the surrounds of the Tennant Creek West Area, Northern Territory. The study area covers 578 km2 and is located approximately 50km west of the Tennant Creek township. The primary purpose of the soil and land suitability investigation was to map, describe and evaluate soil landscapes to inform future irrigation development in an area with identified potential for groundwater extraction.Report cover; Executive Summary; Table of Contents; 1.

Agricultural Land Suitability Series, Report 3.

This report details the land units at a mapping scale of 1:50 000 and describes the dominant landform, soils and vegetation of the the Warumungu (NT Por 502) and Kurnturlpara (NT Por 4802) Aboriginal Land Trust areas, Northern Territory. The study area covers 172km2 and is located approximately 150km east of Tennant Creek via the Barkly Highway. The primary purpose of the investigation was to map, describe and evaluate soil landscapes to inform future irrigation development in an area with identified potential for groundwater extraction. Core landform, soil and vegetation attributes are also described for each of the land units.1. Introduction -- 2. Background information -- 3. Methodology -- 4. Landscapes -- 5. Land Units -- 6.

Agricultural Land Suitability Series, Report 2

This report describes the dominant landform, soils and vegetation of the Wildman River Area, Northern Territory. The study area covers 343km2 and is located approximately 100km south-east of Darwin via the Arnhem Highway and is situated between the Mary River and Kakadu National Parks. The primary purpose of the investigation was to map, describe and evaluate soil landscapes to inform future irrigation development in an area with identified potential for groundwater extraction. The soil and land suitability investigation was undertaken in 2015.Made available by the Northern Territory Library via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).Executive Summary, 1.
