The maps represent a compilation of dryland salinity risk and hazard mapping for 2000, 2020 and 2050. The map shows the broad distribution of areas considered as having either a high salinity risk or a high salinity hazard. In southern Australia where groundwater level and trend data are available, assessments that are more confident have been possible. However, in northern Australia groundwater data for trend analysis are very sparse or non-existent. In these regions, salinity assessments have been based on the presence of geological, landscape, regolith, land use and climate attributes which are the prime drivers of salinity. This national map provides a basis for identifying those regions where more detailed assessments are warranted, and where land use changes should be targeted if the risks are to be managed.The bulk of non- agricultural areas in Western Australia, South Australia and western New South Wales were considered to have a very low salinity risk and were not assessed.Please note that the Commonwealth and all suppliers of source data used to derive the maps of aAustralia, Forecast Areas Containing Land of High Hazard or Risk of Dryland Salinity from 2000 to 2050a3 do not warrant the accuracy or completedness of information in this product. Any person using or relying upon such information does so on the basis that the Commonwealth and data suppliers shall bear no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any errors, faults, defects or omissions in the information.
