ABSTRACT
This study addresses the problem of dryland salinity in Northern Victoria, Australia. Two areas were selected for the analysis: Axe Creek, used mainly for grazing; and Kamarooka, used primarily for cropping. The study gives a detailed explanation of the causes and processes of dryland salinity. Climate, geomorphology and land use are important factors. The problem should be addressed on a regional scale. The focus of this study is an on-farm analysis of the relationships between land use practices, farm income and salinity control. The technique used in the study is simulation modelling, combined with linear programming.
