Apply saline solution

Article Abstract:

The Australian government is investing some 16 million pounds sterling in trying to find ways of combating the increasing salinity of the land. The problem is being studied by scientists, economists and social scientists. It is predicted some 15 million hectares of land in Australia could be affected by salinity, by the year 2049. Changes in farming practices and clearance of land have exacerbated the problem. Some observers warn houses and roads will be damaged if the problem is not resolved. Others have predicted easily accessible fresh water will run out in 15 years time.
