Details

In many river and drainage channels, aquatic-weed control is an essential part of the management regime. If well planned and executed, it can be cost effective and environmentally beneficial; if poorly executed, it can be-expensive, environmentally damaging and of limited benefit.

These Guidelines provide a source of information on the range of weed control techniques available, with guidance on the selection of best practice options.
