The National Dryland Salinity Program (NDSP 1993–2003) was the first national attempt to better understand the causes, impacts, costs and management options for preventing and/or overcoming dryland salinity. The final year of the program was dedicated to harvesting the knowledge and making it available to the diverse range of stakeholders through the Managing Dryland Salinity in Australia resource kit.
