How will Australia be affected by salinity?
I guess it’s really hard to exaggerate the problems we face. I am not one to say the sky is falling in but this is one environmental problem, which would have to be one of the most serious environmental problems anywhere in the world. We are looking at losing 8 million hectares of land. We have already lost 44 species. We could lose 450 species off planet Earth forever. We are looking at disastrous consequences to infrastructure like roads and to hundreds of towns and even flooding of coastal cities, so it’s a major environmental problem.
