Pre-1997 Soil and Water Reports

The CSIRO Land and Water Adelaide Library holds an extensive range of publications from the former CSIRO Division of Water Resources, Division of Soils and the Division of Land Use Research. These include Soil and Land Use Series, Land Research Series, Bulletins, Technical Reports, Divisional Reports and copies of the Atlas of Australian Soils. The publications contain a broad range of information related to the soil and water resources of Australia. Many of these publications, including regional soil maps, are available for purchase through the Adelaide Library.
