The Land Development Department has promoted lowering of saline groundwater table in recharge areas since 2014. The approach used is through: (1) Public relations and information spreading; (2) Planning demonstration sites; (3) Selection of farmers interested in participating in the project; (4) Providing knowledge and advice to those farmers participating …
Pumping groundwater from shallow wells for agriculture can control the groundwater table in recharge areas. It helps to manage saline aquifers and reduce soil salinity. Such shallow wells range from 25 to 30 meters deep. This technology is very well-accepted by the land users.
Acacia ampliceps is a very salt-tolerant species that can grow well in severely salt-affected areas. Land leveling with ditches and dikes is needed, and they are planted along an east-west direction. The technology is very well accepted by land users.
