Statements
Salinization is the accumulation of salts in soil and water, often due to increased evaporation from rising temperatures. It alters the balance between saline and fresh water, harming ecosystems, lake fisheries, crops, and human health. This process degrades soil, reduces agricultural productivity, and negatively impacts farmers' well-being and regional economies.
