Understanding Your Farm Dams
Assessing the suitability of existing dams to prepare for, cope with, and recover from drought
Join us for an informative webinar exploring key questions about farm dam reliability and performance using the Small Farm Dams Tool:
🔍 Are my dams reliable?
📍 Are they in a sufficient catchment and the right size?
🌱 What affects run-off? soil type, ground cover
⚖️ What are the legal requirements? Do I need a licence to build, operate, or use my dam? What are the safety responsibilities? Who should I contact for advice?
This session will help you better understand dam characteristics, performance, and compliance with Victorian regulations, including licensing under the Water Act 1989.
Delivered by the Small Farm Dams Project Team, Agriculture Victoria, Federation University CERDI and Victoria Drought Innovation & Adoption Hub Nodes.
