The Causes Of Saltland : A Case Study At Esperance, P R. George, S. C. Bull
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A series of bores on the Esperance Downs Research Station has demonstrated that the groundwater levels change after clearing, and the relatiojnnship between groundwater levels and soil salinity has been emphasised. This pattern of hydrological change leading to soil salinity problems applies widely in the wheatbelt.
