  8. Irrigation Disrupts the Natural Water Cycle • Irrigation diverts run-off from its natural flow to the ocean, and • Exposes water to increased evaporation resulting in salt build-up. • This saltier water then infiltrates into the ground and salt accumulates in the groundwater. • Plant uptake brings the salty groundwater to the surface soil
