Salinity Crisis Landscapes, Communities and Politics

Investigates the history and issues surrounding salinity. Explores how Australia's salinity crisis reached such huge dimensions - one of the worst cases of dry land salinity in the world. Provides an explanation of causes, including relentless agricultural development through massive land-clearing programs, and decades of denial from successive governments that salinity was even a problem. Includes colour and black-and-white photos, appendix, notes, bibliography and index.
