 Frequently Asked Questions, Saline and/or Sodic Water and Soils   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Salinity of water is referred to in terms of total dissolved solids (TDS), but salinity is actually approximated by measuring the electrical conductivity (EC) of water, expressed in decisiemens per meter (dS/m) or less often in millimhos per centimeter (mmhos/cm) (the two measurements are numerically equivalent).
Saline soils are indicative of inadequate drainage to leach salt from the soil or upward migration of salt from shallow ground water.
Salinity and sediment levels tend to be lower on the falling stage than the rising level of the stream cycle.

 HA 730-F Surficial aquifer system text
The hydrology of an alluvial aquifer is greatly influenced by the rivers that cross and incise it.
River stage altitude tends to be high owing to greater stream flow; water from the river seeps laterally into the river banks and vertically through the streambed and thus raises water levels in the aquifer.
Recharge by upward leakage from the deeper aquifers was increased by the decline in the potentiometric surface of the alluvial aquifer.

 Saline Systems | Full text | Response of biotic communities to salinity changes in a Mediterranean hypersaline stream
Although, the effects of increasing salinity (secondary or anthropogenic salinisation) on freshwater ecosystems and saline lakes have been extensively reviewed, especially in Australia, producing a reduction in diversity [8-15], the contrary process, the reduction of salinity in naturally saline systems is less well documented [16].
Our hypothesis is that salinity is the principal factor affecting the structure of the community, and that an extended period of salinity reduction may increase the abundance and richness of species, but reduce the richness or abundance of the most halophilic species, resulting in a possible reduction in biodiversity at regional level.
Similarly, some authors have found that small changes in salinity are not well related to macroinvertebrate [51,52] and microbial [34] communities, because of the broad ranges of salinity and temperature tolerance of inhabitants of saline systems in arid and semi-arid environments.

 Hunter Region - Water Management
The Hunter River catchment includes a large proportion of salt bearing sedimentary rocks and soils, and surface and underground drainage from this contributes natural salinity to the river.
During high flow periods, discharge of saline water will be permitted in a sector when the river salinity is below the sector threshold and the river flow is within the high flow range for that sector and the modelled conditions show that the flow event will exist when the block reaches Singleton.
It is used to reduce saline discharges in a particular sector where the full exercise of discharge entitlements is predicted to cause the salinity objective, ie.

 Multi-Level Observation Well Sites of the Upper arkansas River Corridor Study
The source of the saline river water affecting the aquifer at Deerfield is not directly from the river channel, but from the river water diverted to the west and north of the site.
The salinity of water from the deepest observation well is somewhat greater than that of the water supply of Deerfield before it began to become impacted in the mid-1970’s by migration of the diverted river water.
The lower salinity of the water in the shallowest well than deeper in the aquifer probably reflects the decrease in the average salinity of the river water that has been infiltrating to the aquifer over the last decade.

 Tony Smith Seminar - 23 April 1999   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Field observations for a stretch of the Swan River between the Causeway and Guildford indicate that the density contrasts between the river and the adjacent fresh groundwater system are sufficient to drive mixed-convection cells beneath the river bed.
The recirculation of river water in the shallow aquifer system by this mechanism is responsible for transport of high concentrations of ammonium, observed in pore fluids in the riverbed sediments, into groundwater and its eventual return to the river.
The structure of convection cells and recirculation rates of river water in the groundwater system are related to a flow-modified Rayleigh number that depends critically on the aquifer anisotropy and river meander pattern.

Natives frequented the Saline area because of the legendary salt springs to the south of where the trail crossed the river.
The name given to the river, the township, the village, and later, the city was selected because of these salt springs, which originated from a vein of salt reputed to run from Battle Creek to Detroit (Our Pride, 58).
Changes in the landscape around Saline occurred with the infiltration of manufacturing, as illustrated in the 1960s when the Ford Plant was built along U.S. on former farmland between the Rentschler and Morton Farms.
