Pseudo-individual,

I thought Australia had been mostly covered by sea water in its ancient geological past thus explaining the extensive salinity of its soils, except in a few areas like the wheat belt of SW Western Australia.

I understand that flooding the land or vast irrigation will draw the salt more and more to the surface making the land useless for human habitation eg what happened to the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia where Iraq is now just a desert.

Is this what you want to see happen?

Mr Opinion,
Freshwater floats on saltwater so, if anything it'd dilute whatever salt is present. I think it would be of far greater benefit to take some money off funding for the Arts , Sport & other unproductive schemes & put it towards irrigation of the interior. All that's needed is to get bureaudroids off their posterior !

Pseudo-individual,

You make me laugh.

Have you ever heard of the lens effect where the salt water displaces the fresh water.

The water then evaporates leaving its salt near the surface.

Continued rising ground water and evaporation makes the soil too salty for farming. Just like what happened in ancient Iraq.

Only way to get rid of the salt is to flush with fresh water.

You are so funny. You really are the true pseudo-individual.

Mr Opinion,
You're the comedian here because you only think of what others let you think. I have some personal experience in that field & I'm talking about a scenario when more water is introduced. Read again, MORE water !
I found these results from personal experimenting , not from someone's thesis.
By more water I'm not talking about some heavy rain every now & then. I'm talking about an adapted to modern day available technology Bradfield scheme. A scheme that delivers more fresh water more frequently.
A scheme that would take the minds of concrete jungle bunnies off drugs & make them experience work, responsibility & satisfaction & above all, make them like to have a purpose in life. Come to think of it, participating would get you with a bit of luck, off your insipid desire to troll every post !
A watering the interior scheme would be the perfect opportunity to match with a National Service scheme. I guarantee it would get more approval from young people than from their silly, selfish parents.
Do some surveys but expect to get some egg in your face when you denounce the proposal !

pseudo-individual.

If you like water so much then how about sticking your head in a bucket of it and counting to one million.

Mr Opinion,
I'd lose against you in the breath holding department because you're a member of the swamp dwellers & probably have already developed gills as you're morphing into a salamander or similarly slimy thing !.
