Mineral Banks. Approx Footprint
Gently sloping grazing pasture field on farm of cattle and cropping. No intention to change land use in next three years. Eucalypt plantation 250 metres to the south, tree stock shelter belt 300 metres to the west, several rows of pinus trees 250 metres to the north and then a steep decline to river plains and pasture to the east (>300 metres). Project is also measuring streamflow of an adjacent creek using Sontek Acoustic Doppler IQ+ and has a weather station measuring, temperature, humidity, solar radiation, wind speed and direction.
