Abstract
over 60 salinity investigations have been completed within a 9 township area near Avonlea, Saskatchewan. This level of study has provided detailed information on a large number of seeps. These have been grouped according to their common features and general landscape position, creating 3 seep classes: Uplands/Side-hill; Plains Transitional; and Bedrock Controlled. Recommendations from detailed farmer reports and local hydrogeologic test sites have been used to derive "best management" strategies for each seep class. This approach will provide direction toward the treatment of future salinity requests, while promoting the realistic management of existing seeps.
