Soil salinization

Description
Irrigation = Artificially providing water to support agriculture
Waterlogging = over-irrigated soils which suffocates roots
Salinization = the buildup of salts in surface soil layers
Salinization inhibits production of 20% of all irrigated cropland, costing more than $11 billion/year

Remedies for correcting salinization once it has occurred:
Choose crops appropriate for the area
Irrigate with low-salt water
Irrigate efficiently
Drip irrigation targets water directly to plants
