Video: Salt in the Fields | California Watch
A continued problem met by Farmers worldwide is that of Soil Salinity. Because fresh water -- whether from surface or groundwater sources -- is a non-renewable resource, it is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain Agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions around the world. To illustrate this growing concern of soil salinization within rural communities located in areas of Interior drainage, California Watch produced a video detailing the current plight of farmers in the San Joaquin Valley, CA USA in September 2012.

The Scientific community has taken soil salinization to task by researching Irrigation Salinity and Irrigated Agriculture Sustainability in light of continued limited fresh water resources - a stark reality faced by Agriculture, Industry and Environmental stakeholders alike. Therefore, I present the following two articles; the first presented at the 2nd International Salinity Forum: Salinity, Water and Society - Global Issues, Local Action in 2008, and the second published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in 2005 for your perusal:
