Salt


There is a reoccurring theme as we travel through the irrigation areas of both California and Mexico and that is the salt. When quizzed on the subject, and we quizzed everyone, the answer is the same, no problem we will just flush it down with more water. I’m no hydrologist but I’m sure that is not the answer. The white strip in the photos is the salt. No Problemo.

that is really interesting. a real bandaide solution.
i wonder if australia would do that if we had plenty of water at no cost. i don't think so. anyway, soon the profile is going to be that saturated, the salt can't go down at all.
