When all else fails, just go with the flow: unintended lessons from an experiment in the Goulburn River
Experiments to augment channel retentiveness can increase detritus and dependent organisms and we attempted such an experiment in the Lower Goulburn River. Using established methods we increased retention at four sites by adding woody structure to treatment areas, but not control areas. Over 24 months, the experimental areas were sampled five times at baseflow (1000 ML / day).
