Management - Conductivity

Management practices to reduce the load of ions entering a wetland:

• Adequate buffer zones
• Appropriate drainage that does not affect watertable levels
• Appropriate environmental flow releases
• Appropriate management of dryland salinity
• Establishment of maximum irrigation drawdown limits
• Government regulation (e.g. water extraction licenses)
• Installation of appropriate flood gates (tide activated, etc.)
