Abstract
Summary Sediment yield estimates from sedimentation surveys of small farm dams are a cost effective method of obtaining long-term data suitable for use in catchment management. In this study, the results of a number of such surveys on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales are used to derive empirical equations for sediment yield in relation to catchment characteristics. The equations are used to estimate the distribution of sediment yield in an adjacent catchment of similar morphology. In areas where numerous such dams have been built this approach can be used to derive sediment yield data for a wide variety of terrain and land use types, which can then be extrapolated to larger areas for which no data exist.
