Hi Martin,
You might find the following reference useful:
Davies, S.J.J.F (1972). Results of 40 hours' continuous watch at five water
points in an Australian desert. Emu 72: 8-12.
Stephen Davies has also published a number of papers on the impacts of farm
dams on Emu populations in arid parts of Western Australia. Reference to
those papers are in HANZAB (Vol 1) and Stephen's book:
Davies, S.J.J.F (2006). Ratites and Tinamous (Oxford UP, New York).
Kind regards,
Stephen

Subject: RFI: artificial watering points & impacts on birds
A request for members.
I am trying to compile information on the impact of man-made watering points
on birds and keen to hear or be advised on any relevant references etc with
respect to dry country birds in particular.
I am aware that dams were fenced or removed at Gluepot in South Australia
and understand a similar process has been undertaken at the Trust for Nature
property at Neds Corner in Victoria. The rationale and outcomes of this
work is of interest.
cheers, Martin O'Brien
