Flow chart showing the major elements associated with conductivity management

Click on elements of the flow chart or select from the tabs below

The vulnerability of a wetland to conductivity is dependent on:

  • evaporation rates
  • natural conductivity range
  • residence times, flushing rates, dilution
  • salinity tolerance of native species of plants and animals.
