This article was at Salinity in Australia and was intended to cover the particular envoronmental problem in Australia. Now I know that that page was shifted to this name, I think it should be shifted back.--nixie 09:56, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
- Maybe so, you be the judge! However, I fail to see what's so special about soil salination in Australia; it is a widespread problem, see e.g. [1]. Why not cover it in a section of soil salination? Lupo 10:00, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
Salinity in Australia is a very widespread problem, with 5% of Australia affected from it.Nimbusjdf
[edit] Salty rain?
The following sentence strikes me as odd and unlikely:
Some of the salts originate from marine sediments, but most have been deposited in rainfall over thousands of years.
As far as I was aware, rain does not contain significant amounts of salts. Therefore I'm dubious of this explanation.
