Wheatbelt waterwise = saltwise : gardening guide

As a result of agricultural clearing, many country towns are now feeling the effects of rising groundwater and the salt that it carries. Salinity has been identified as Australia’s number one environmental problem. While most people think that salinity means land lost to agriculture, it also poses a serious threat to many country towns.

These included water recycling, revegetation and more efficient water use.https://researchlibrary.agric.wa.gov.au/bulletins/1038/thumbnail.jp
