Drainage of irrigated land (continued)
The use of evaporating basins as receptacles for saline drainage water has caused concern to landowners with properties adjacent to these basins and the channels transporting water to them. Exhaustive technical investigations, involving soil and water characteristics, local ground water conditions and three-dimensional modelling of possible water movement, have been undertaken in an endeavour to demonstrate that there will be no adverse effects to adjoining land.
