Reversing this development by land management measures is not easy. Replanting in specific recharge areas is seen as one possible control method where economic consequences would be limited. In other areas, changed cropping patterns have been advocated, replacing shallow-rooted crops by deep-rooted ones like alfalfa or lupins. The ambitions have met very limited success, however, due to lack of incentives of local stakeholders. In spite of the existence of both technology and awareness, the salination problem has not been contained, therefore, a fact that is all the more disturbing in view of Australia’s leading position in understanding the links between land use and water, its ambitious land care program etc. In order to get out of this regional scale environmental pitfall of Australian economy, the human dimension of necessary land use changes in terms of aspirations, motivation and incentives of local landholders is a fundamental dimension to address.
