Description :
Field studies conducted on a small, saline and deeply weathered hillslope (in the Murray River catchment, 17 km WNW of Narrogin), using hydrologic, geomorphic and chemical measurements, were used to quantify and describe the various processes and mechanisms responsible for streamflow generation. The dominant streamflow production mechanisms are controlled by seasonal factors which affect the development of the variable source areas adjacent to the stream in winter, and soil conditions resulting from land use practices during summer.
