Dryland salinity occurrence in the medium sized Majors Creek Salinity Province is due mainly to saline groundwater discharge from local to intermediate scale Groundwater Flow Systems along drainage lines, with few ‘break-of-slope’ style occurrences. Discharge areas up to 46 ha have been mapped in the province; however most areas occur as smaller patches along drainage lines, especially northeast of Pyalong. |
