| dcterms.description | In the majority of irrigated areas in sub-Saharan Africa, poor management of the irrigation inefficient drainage, and paddy rice grown on soil which is too sandy have led to a rapid rise in groundwater levels, increasing aluminium toxicity and salinization of the land.
Two recent articles on the subject (ORSTOM Actualit\E9s No. 40 Cahiers Agricultures 1993 (2)) outline some possible solutions: rehabilitation of salinated paddies by using short season salt-tolerant varieties; stopping the rise of water levels by digging deeper drainage channels, an adjusting the mineral content of the soil.
