Summary
It takes at least three years, but degraded pastoral land in Central Australia can be transformed by ponded pastures. The Centralian Land Management Association demonstrated the construction of ponding banks using laser survey in this Producer Research Support-funded project. So successful has the project been that one pastoralist has laser surveyed 20 square kilometres for ponding. About 25 per cent of local land managers are now actively pursuing ponded pastures.
