Salt-affected land or land affected by the process of salinity is an insidious environmental issue in Australia, presenting a sobering challenge to land managers and government agencies to retain ecologically and sustainably productive land for the future.

The hypersaline waste water from the production of oil has leaked through the evaporation pond walls into the natural environment, affecting soil, water and vegetation. The aim of this project is to explore options to rehabilitate the highly saline land in and around the evaporation ponds at the Beach Petroleum oilfields in the Eromanga Basin.
