Changes in Drainage networks since 1820, Southern Tablelands, N. S. W.

EYLES, R. J.

Description :
During the period of exploration and initial settlement (1820-40), many drainage lines contained chains of ponds. Cultural influences, particularly ringbarking of trees and the grazing of sheep, cattle and rabbits between 1840 and 1850, caused many chains of ponds to be destroyed by channel entrenchment. Since 1950, the application of soil conservation methods have further increased the diversity of fluvial forms.
