Farm dams are constructed to support agricultural activities, intercept catchment runoff and therefore reduce streamflow. However, the impact of farm dams on runoff projections has received little attention.
This study established datasets to assess farm dam development over time and used these datasets with hydrological modelling methods to estimate the impact of farm dams on runoff projections.
