Abstract

Several interacting factors are generally associated with the development of soil salinity on irrigated lands of the arid Southwest. Notable examples include physical edaphology (clay content and soil permeability), depth to the perched water table, salinity of the perched groundwater, and irrigation efficiency. By creating map overlays of these properties and noting the areas of intersection of specific levels or thresholds of these properties, areas can be delineated that demonstrate varying propensities for salt accumulation in the soil profile.
