Basin scale - solutions:

Fighting salinity

• Improved water storage management (less surface area, thus reducing evaporation losses)
• Reducing conveyance water losses
• Construct and optimize regional drainage conveyance systems
• Use measurement stations for salinity and water flow to allow the setting and implementation of basin targets
• Salinity interception schemes
• Regional evaporation ponds
• Increased extension services
• Improved communication and participation with basin actors
