Dryland Salinity and Catchment Management

Product Information

In 2003-04, the NDSP invested a full year in harvesting and synthesising the efforts of over 300 researchers who investigated the causes, costs, consequences, solutions and management of dryland salinity in Australia over the past 10 years of the program.

This Research Directory and Manual is designed to help catchment managers find solutions and make better decisions about managing their catchments based on good science.
