Soil Groups
Department for Environment and Water
Fifteen soil groups have been identified across southern South Australia, which are groupings of 61 soils (soil types). Mapping shows the most common soil group, while more... -
Soil Deep Drainage Potential
Department for Environment and Water
Deep drainage refers to the capacity of the deep subsoil and the material immediately below the soil profile to allow excess water to move downwards into deep sediments or... -
