<br />
<br />The prospect of increasing salinity in the Colorado River, resulting from greater use
<br />of water (agriculture and industry) and soil disturbances (livestock grazing and
<br />mineral and energy development), has prompted the Department of the Interior to
<br />study possible means of reducing salt yields from diffuse and point sources. The
<br />Bureau of Land Management, in this report, discusses the mechanisms involved in salt
<br />pickup and transport from diffuse sources on public lands, primarily from overland
<br />flow of water. The effects of common man-caused soil disturbance, primarily
<br />livestock grazing, on salt yields are discussed. Any practice which compacts or
<br />disturbs soil, reduces infiltration, and increases runoff and erosion on saline soils, will
<br />increase salt yields. Several common practices, designed to reduce erosion, were
<br />analyzed to determine their ability to control salt. The most promising alternative
<br />practices were subjected to benefit-cost analysis to determine their economic
<br />feasibility.
