Deep Drainage As A Method Of Treating Saltland, Eric Bettenay
Deep Drainage As A Method Of Treating Saltland, Eric Bettenay
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In some situations, deep drainage may be warranted to return salt-affected land to full production.
This method is being investigated at CSIRO's Yalanbee Experiment Station.

Western Australian Soils Store Large Quantities Of Salt, C V. Malcolm, R. A. Nulsen, C. Henschke
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Enormous quantities of salt are stored in the soil in the agricultural areas of Western Australia. Small movements in this salt can produce large effects on farms.

Soil Salinity In Western Australia : A Summary, T C. Stoneman
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Soil salinity problems have long been recognised in Western Australia. The earliest published explanation in 1924 suggested that removing native vegetation increased stream salinity, and this basic cause has been confirmed by many studies since.

Plants As Pumps, E A N Greenwood
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Native species vary greatly in their ability to pump ground water.
CSIRO studies are measuring water use by different plants to plan revegetation strategies.
Effects Of Surface Drainage On Dryland Salinity, P R. George, T. R. Negus
Effects Of Surface Drainage On Dryland Salinity, P R. George, T. R. Negus
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Areas which are salt-affected are often also flooded. Although flooding is not the basic cause of salinity, surface drainage may improve conditions for plant growth, and this article describes suitable methods

Water Movement Through Soil, R A. Nulsen
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Even a good quality stock water moving to the surface can cause a salinity problem in only a few years.
Landform, Natural Drainage And Salinity, Eric Bettenay
Landform, Natural Drainage And Salinity, Eric Bettenay
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
An understanding of salt movement in streams and groundwater may lead to better methods of control and prevention of salinity.
