The salt concentration in the water extracted from a saturated soil (called saturation extract) defines the salinity of this soil. If this water contains less than 3 grams of salt per litre, the soil is said to be non saline (see Table below). If the salt concentration of the saturation extract contains more than 12 g/l, the soil is said to be highly saline.
