Abstract
Shallow relief drains are easy to construct and a cost-effective way to:
- remove accumulated surface water from depressions and low-lying land
- divert run-off from land that is prone to inundation or flooding
- remove surface water to a safe disposal area, to reduce the length of time the land is inundated or flooded
- reduce the potential for localised recharge and the development of secondary salinity
- improve the continuity of flow within the catchment along the valley floor.
