Saline seep

found: Glossary of geology, 2005(saline seep: intermittent or continuous saline water discharge at or near the soil surface under dryland conditions which reduces or eliminates crop growth. It is differentiated from other saline soil conditions by recent and local origin, shallow water table, saturated root zone, and sensitivity to cropping systems and precipitation.)

found: Wikipedia, Aug. 2, 2007(saline seep: formed through excess water entering into the ground, which eventually raises the water table. This movement causes the groundwater to flow down slope and flow through subsoil. Eventually the salt in the groundwater discharges on the soil surface. The salts gradually accumulate to form a saline seep.)
