The aim of the project was to determine whether clearing of native mallee (Eucalyptus spp.) vegetation in the region is likely to lead to significant groundwater salinity problems. The holes are located beneath mallee, and on land which was cleared 50 years ago, and has since been used for pasture and crops under a dryland farming regime. Samples were analysed for water content, chloride and matric suction ER -
