Explore: Salinisation

Soil salinity is the salt content in the soil; the process of increasing the salt content is known as salinization (also called salination in American

its rivers slow-moving, resulting in a build up of salt on the land. Salinisation adversely affects Australia's soil which is, on average, poor in nutrients
