Ravensthorpe less than 1 mostly rising likely medium moderate Most of the salinity in (24) term this hydrozone is caused by hillside seeps or groundwater baseflow to river channels and some tributaries. The salinity risk is moderate because salinity is likely to expand with minor consequence because the area of agricultural land at risk is small. However, the off-site impacts could be considerable in relation to biodiversity, especially along the waterways in the Fitzgerald Biosphere Reserve.
