What is Soil Salinization and Water Management about?

Rising water tables can cause soil salinization by bringing salt up to the soil surface through capillary action where it accumulates as water evaporates. This process led to the decline of wheat production and rise of salt-tolerant barley in ancient Mesopotamia around 1700 BC, coinciding with the salinization of soils in the region and the eventual demise of the Sumerian civilization. Even with good irrigation practices, salt can accumulate differently in soil with higher concentrations on ridges and beds
