"Assessment of runnelling as a form of mosquito control in saltmarsh: e" by J. M. Knight, S. K. Marx et al.
Runnelling is a minor and successful form of open marsh water management developed in Australia in the 1980s and integrated into mosquito control programs in the 1990s. While long-term monitoring and investigation of impacts has continued for one site, until recently there has been no assessment of operational runnelling more broadly across mosquito control agencies. This study addresses this issue. Forty-seven runnelled saltmarsh sites were assessed for runnel efficacy, function and condition. Issues impacting on runnel function, including both ecological and geomorphic processes, were noted....
