Hydrological Studies In Soil Salinity, C J. Henschke
Hydrological Studies In Soil Salinity, C J. Henschke
Resource management technical reports
Investigations involved examination of near-surface indurated layers to investigate their role in saltland formation. It was found that groundwater could move readily through this layer due to the presence of macro-pores. Close examination of apparently impermeable pallid zone clays, shows that decayed tree roots and large diameter voids provide a continuous pathway for the veritical transport of saline water from deeper aquifers.

An Assessment Of Wisalts Banks At Dangin, C J. Henschke, J A. Bessell-Browne

Resource management technical reports
This report compares two alternative approaches for the treatment and management of salt affected land at Dangin, Western Australia by determining whether there are benefits from a WISALTS bank system which would not accrue from standard soil conservation recommendations; comparing the costs and benefits of the two systems; and determining the nature of the effects of the two systems, particularly with respect to soil salinity.
