Salinity

Solution to Soil Salinity

Magnetised Water Technology

For over 30 years Prof. Yuri Tkachenko and his team of scientists researched the effects of magnetic fields on plants and a method of magneto-hydro dynamical activisation of irrigation waters. From this research exciting new applications have been developed and tested in Europe, Middle East and Australia. The applications include physical- chemical changes of irrigation water parameters, resulting in improvement of filtration properties and in an increase in the dissolving properties of water.

Soil Salinity - A Problem

Soil salinity affects vast areas of Australia's farming land and the area of salt affected land is increasing rapidly. Approximately 32 million hectares of Australia's arable land have been rendered useless by salt. The cost in lost agricultural production is estimated at $3.5 billion per year.

In September 2001, after years of preparation, the Commonwealth Government released The Basin Salinity Management Strategy.
