DAMAGE_SALT | % yield loss | The loss of agricultural yield due to salt water irrigation or ground bottom flow with salt water. |
This value is calculated for the present crop, using the highest and lowest groundwater levels adjusted by subsidence. When the salt concentration is too high, this leads to a reduction of water absorption of plant roots, increased toxicity, problems with nutrients absorption and decreased root growth.
Notes
- These yields are calculated by the Waterwijzer Landbouw API.[1]
