Farm dairy effluent is a valuable resource which, when managed well, can increase pasture production and reduce fertiliser costs.

A timeline of what farmers have to do for freshwater regulation.

There are many benefits to planting around waterways, find examples in this technote.

Research on mitigating greenhouse gases and nitrogen leaching - Do they reduce farms’ environmental footprints and improve profitability?

This note gives you a brief overview of energy capture systems (anaerobic digestion and biogas) from dairy effluent.

Drains include natural or artificial channels to lower the water table and/or reduce surface flood risk.

The guidelines cover general aspects of sizing and siting a wetland, construction, plant selection, wetland effectiveness, and maintenance.

Planning the crossing type and location is important to avoid damaging waterway banks, disrupting streams and will help reduce maintenance costs.
