Salinity Groundwater Monitoring Update for the Campaspe Catchment | Salinity Provinces in the North Central CMA



Dryland salinity (external link) in the North Central region is a serious threat to agricultural productivity and biodiversity. Therefore, a multitude of planning and management activities are centred around this problem in the region, including groundwater monitoring for the Loddon Uplands, Loddon Dryland Plains, Campaspe Dryland Region and Avoca Dryland Region, and various community action plans. These include: Salinity Management Plans and associated activities (available in the ‘Water and Environmental Management’ section of the Goulburn-Murray Water website) (external link); community education for integrated management; implementation activities; integrated management plans; native vegetation conservation strategies for dryland catchments; Operation Undersow; land and water management control; surface water drainage investigations, and soil rehabilitation.

There are ten Salinity Management Regions overlapping the North Central region, for which Salinity Management Plans have been written. These include:

Avoca Dryland Avon-Richardson Boort Campaspe Dryland Campaspe West Goulburn Dryland Loddon Dryland Kerang-Swan Hill Torumbarry Tragowel Plains
