National Indicators for Land Salinity

Product Information

This report provides Victoria's response to the National Coordination Committee for Salinity information's request for a set of recommended indicators and protocols to assist in evaluating change in land salinity.

The two areas selected as subjects for the 'Indicators for land Salinity Study' are the two subcatchments called Upper Gardiner Creek and Morrisons - Sheoak. These are located in the Goulburn-Broken and Corangamite catchments respectively.

The areas were identified as being suitable for this study through discussion between DPI and DSE staff involved with dry land salinity and landscape management projects. In selecting the two sites, it was considered that a contrast in data availability and depth of analysis for two recognised dry land salinity afflicted areas would be valuable.
