It builds upon salinity management practices used in regions with similar climates and soil conditions around the world. The book delves into the viability of using various tree species to lower water tables, reduce water volume, and improve crop production while providing additional benefits such as windbreaks and wildlife habitats. It also examines the economic and marketing aspects of integrating agroforestry into existing farming practices, opening up new opportunities for farmers to manage drainage water and increase their income.
