SummaryThis project involved a range of partners in the rehabilitation of a wetland on a cane farm. The project involved construction of a sediment basin upstream of the wetland to capture irrigation tail water to detain and filter sediment before entering the wetland.
Additional works included construction of high flow and overflow structures including a spillway and diversion bank to reduce the risk of erosion, damage to aquatic vegetation, and the export of sediment into the wetland during high rainfall events. Benefits
