Understanding salt mobilization from an irrigated catchment in south-eastern Australia.

The article presents a study on the role of groundwater discharge from Riverine Plains of the Murray-Darling Basin to the salt mobilization to the Murray River in Australia. It discusses the methodologies applied in the study which includes the classification and regression trees, conceptual modeling, and artificial neural networks that provides analyses from monthly data dated from July 1975 to December 2004. It focuses on greater significance of rainfall in salt loads compared to irrigation water.
