This booklet provides an overview of how to undertake a visual assessment of a site for the presence of salinity and the choice and use of appropriate tests to confirm and quantify the severity of salinity in the area.
Information collected through this process may be used to classify land according to the level of salinity present, providing a guide and framework for the prioritisation of areas for intervention and the choice and implementation of salinity management options.
