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.
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
