Summary
This report has two components. Firstly, it discusses issues relating to cost sharing for dryland salinity management. Secondly, it presents an economic analysis and cost sharing assessment of six dryland salinity management options for the Lower Eyre Peninsula (LEP) in South Australia.
- The management options are based on a recent study of the Wanilla Catchment by Stauffacher et al. (2000). These options involve different revegetation and land-use scenarios in the catchment over a 20 year period. The major trade-off posed by each scenario is the amount of cropping land revegetated against the additional land prevented from becoming salt affected.
- Options are explored first for the Wanilla Catchment (where there are few off-site impacts on infrastructure and urban water users) and then for the entire lower Eyre Peninsula.
