| The Bet Bet targeted salinity project is a joint project with the Bet Bet (Lexton) community, the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE), Department of Primary Industries (DPI), North Central Catchment Management Authority (NCCMA) and Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM). The project aims to control salt by minimising salt wash-off and reduce groundwater recharge. To do this requires an understanding of the hydrogeological processes that cause dryland salinity. A key feature of this project is monitoring of groundwater levels, stream quality, saline discharge and land use change. |  Salinity discharge area (foreground) near Lexton.
