My Comment: AI slop, only partly true.Using AI to fight AI: 🤣The broad-scale "salting" of Australian soil—known as dryland salinity—is primarily caused by land clearing, not artesian water extraction.Extracting too much artesian water creates a very different problem: depletion and pressure drop rather than salinization. Over-pumping drains the underground reserve faster than it can naturally recharge from rainfall, causing pressure to drop and natural springs or shallow wells to go dry.Queensland’s natural Great Artesian Basin (GAB) springs are not universally "dead zones," but the ecosystem has been severely damaged, with around 40% of historic spring complexes completely drying up since European settlement due to water extraction.However, ongoing aggressive conservation initiatives are stabilizing and even reversing some of this destruction..
