Dryland Salinity in Victoria in 2007
| The Victorian Soil Salinity Monitoring Project, funded by the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) (external link) provides support for standardised collection of data showing the extent and severity of soil salinity. This project also manages the storage of the data on the Corporate Spatial Data Library (CSDL) and distributes information products back to the community. The soil salinity layer represents a compilation of all recorded soil salinity sites in Victoria. The following report "Dryland Salinity in Victoria in 2007 - An analysis of data from the soil salinity database and Victorian discharge monitoring network" conducted in 2008 by Robert Clark and Wayne Harvey of the Department of Primary Industries, Bendigo, presents the most current estimate of mapped soil salinity across Victoria and, where repeat data exists, shows the change in the extent and severity over various timeframes.
