Abstract
DPIRD recommends that groundwater pumping is used as part of an integrated water and salinity management program.
Groundwater pumping can lower local water tables, recover land for production and reduce the spread of local salinity or to protect high value assets at risk, such as townsites, roads or railway lines. Pump water can be discharged to safe disposal points or used on farm for desalination.
