Abstract

Livestock refuge mounds are important disaster management structures that supply higher ground for flood threatened animals, enabling their survival of inundation events on flood-prone country. A preliminary economic analysis by the CSIRO established the viability of refuge mounds, especially when used in conjunction with good management practices such as destocking over the wet season and using dry stock in flood prone paddocks.
