The Timor West targeted salinity project is a joint project with the Timor West 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. The aim of this brochure (June 2003) is to explain the hydrogeological processes operating in the Timor West targeted area, and to describe the monitoring systems established to further understand these processes and monitor project progress.
