Salt-infested dams in the drought-effected farming areas on the outskirts of Perth

Salt-infested dams can be seen in the drought-effected farming areas on the outskirts of the Western Australian capital city of Perth. Australia is already feeling the brunt of climate change with a five year drought devastating rural life and eating into economic growth, severe early season wildfires and record unseasonable temperatures. With the worst drought to hit Australia in 100 years now entering its sixth year, every four days a farmer commits suicide under the stress of failing crops, dying livestock and debt.
