Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of flood flow through strip cropping, based on accepted hydraulic theory, for the purpose of determining strip spacing. The free-surface hydraulics pertinent to flow through cropping are reviewed and applied to strip cropping. The strop computer model, developed to calculate maximum strip widths for particular soil types, land slopes, flood discharges and strip cropping layouts is described. The strip width guidelines produced using this model are illustrated and discussed.
