An overview is given of New South Wales saline seepage and resultant dryland salinisation, in the context of land degradation concerns across the Murray-Darling Basin. Causes of saline water discharge, the extent of dryland salting in the State, and its effects on land and water resources are outlined. The problem is assessed in terms of present knowledge and action needed to prevent and / or control its spread. Research priorities are suggested. Both specific and broad strategies already addressing dryland salinisation and associated land degradation are described. Future actions for New South Wales are outlined and the need is stressed for community education, as well as 3-way cooperation between governments, scientists and landholders.
