| ABSTRACT: | A study of the area around the reservoir perimeter was conducted to determine the effects of impoundment on drainage of irrigated lands. A topographic survey work undertaken in 1986 has been used in conjunction with farm layout and drainage network drawings, supplemented with additional fieldwork as necessary, to determine the potential impact of impoundment on existing irrigated lands. Fieldwork included additional survey work and visual confirmation of drainage layouts and of current land usage. Assessment of effects have been made superimposing relevant reservoir levels on suitably modified plans of farm and drainage layouts. This has allowed potential changes in land use to be quantified and possible disruptions to the existing drainage system to be identified. Overall the effects of reservoir impoundment on the drainage of existing irrigated lands was evaluated to be small. Approximately 90 ha of farmland would potentially be affected and a small number of drainage outfalls would require minor modifications. |
