Stormwater runoff from roads has the potential to impact aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through changes to water quality, water quantity and water flowpath. It is important to manage stormwater to reduce such pressures on sensitive receiving…

This manual explores the impact of road runoff and drainage on aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. Road Runoff and Drainage aims to assist road infrastructure planners, designers, environmental officers and project managers in achieving…

This report investigates the extent of seat belt and restraint use on remote area roads to determine the extent to which restraints are not used, the potential reasons for non-use and means by which their use could be increased. The research was…
