  • An Overview of Modelling Techniques and Decision Support Systems and Their Application for Managing Salinity in Australia
    AN OVERVIEW OF MODELLING TECHNIQUES AND DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS AND THEIR APPLICATION FOR MANAGING SALINITY IN AUSTRALIA Dr Mark Littleboy1,2, Professor Rob Vertessy1,3 and Dr Paul Lawrence4 1 CRC for Catchment Hydrology, Canberra, ACT 2 Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources, Queanbeyan, NSW 3 CSIRO Land and Water, Canberra, ACT 4 Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Indooroopilly, Qld INTRODUCTION In Australia, computer models are being used to support the development and implementation of salinity management strategies. These models facilitate the assessment of the impacts of salinity management options, and enable the outcomes of implementation to be quantified. Models can be used to estimate both potential benefits and any unwanted impacts of management actions. There is a myriad of salinity models developed or under development across Australia. A recent stock take of models conducted by URS for the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality (URS Australia 2002) contained details of over 100 models that can be used to assess salinity management options. While it could be argued that such a vast number of models is overkill, many of these models focus on different processes and aspects of salinity. This paper reviews the range of modelling techniques and approaches used in Australia to improve the management and understanding of dryland salinity. The numerous modelling approaches being used in Australia have evolved to answer a variety of questions across different scales. While the main focus of this paper is on biophysical models, some case studies highlighting social and economic models and decision support tools currently being used in Australia are also be presented.

  • Dryland Salinity: Economic, Scienti¢C, Social and Policy Dimensions{
    The Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics,45:4,pp.517^546 Dryland salinity: economic, scienti¢c, social and policy dimensions{ David J. Pannell* A broad range of information relevant to salinity is reviewed in order to critically evaluate existing and prospective policy responses. The review includes issues of hydrogeology, farmer perceptions and preferences, farm-level economics of salinity management practices, spill-over bene¢ts and costs from salinity management, and politics. The technical challenge of preventing salinity is far greater than previously recognised. The farm-level economics of currently available management practices for salinity prevention are adverse in many situations. O¡-site bene¢ts from on- farm practices are often small and long delayed. Past national salinity policies have been seriously £awed. While current policy proposals include positive elements, they have not su¤ciently escaped from the past. 1. Introduction Dryland salinity is seen as one of Australia's most serious environmental and resource management problems. There have been major government programmes in place for over a decade aiming to increase farmers' adoption of management practices for salinity prevention. Farmers have responded, although not on the scale recommended by hydrologists, and yet salinity is continuing to worsen. Recent hydrological studies have shown that even if farmers had responded on the scale recommended, salinity would be continuing to worsen in many cases (Campbell et al. 2000; Stau¡acher et al. 2000; National Land and Water Resources Audit 2001). The political pro¢le of salinity has increased dramatically in recent years, with extensive media coverage and the release of numerous reports, including {Revised version of Presidential Address to 45th Annual Conference of Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society, Adelaide, 22^25 January, 2001.
