Salination is a term used to describe the process of increasing the salt content in soil or water. Synonyms for this word include "saltification," "salt contamination," "salt enrichment," and "salt accumulation." Salinization can occur naturally through geological processes, but human activities such as over-irrigation, mining, and industrial activities can also cause salination. This process can have harmful effects on plant growth and animal habitats and can lead to desertification. To prevent and reverse salination, practices such as using irrigation methods that conserve water and implementing sustainable agriculture techniques can be adopted.
