Australian Environment - Salinity in Australia.

The nation has a major concern, salinity, as it is slowly but surely consuming Australia, especially in the rural areas. The people have become increasingly aware of the problem of salinity, as the damage is widespread and visible to all. The agriculture industry is suffering as the overall crop production has been slashed; but not only is the rural community suffering, effects are increasingly obvious in urban areas also. Drastic, but more importantly, swift action …

…action is not taken to remedy the situation. Finances are an issue, as it will cost millions, if not billions, to fix the damage inflicted on our country. Education for our children and farmers will assist with the fight against salinity. Everyone needs to work together to keep our country's salinity levels at the lowest possible. This should be done not only for the current generation, but also for all the future generations in Australia.
