Abstract

Sand dunes to be irrigated in New South Wales can be described as having an impermeable layer represented by: (i) a horizontal plane at the base, or (ii) a plane parallel to a sloping face. The artificial drainage of these dunes differs from situations covered by formulae commonly used for flat land. An electrical resistance analogue is described, and shown to be suitable for study of the sand dune problems. The analogue solutions are compared with the theoretical predictions of the appropriate formulae. Recommendations are given for the best means of draining such sand dunes, based on the results obtained.
