Runoff and soil water have been measured on differently managed areas of shrub invaded semi -arid woodland near Coolabah, in north-western N.S.W. Measurements commenced in spring of 1975 and are continuing.

With the exception of a very wet 10 day period in early 1976, when runoff results were lost, about 7% of rainfall ran off the mechanically shrub cleared country while 18% was similarly lost from the uncleared area. Runoff was much . . . . .
