Urban salinity is a combination of both dryland salinity and irrigation salinity that has the potential to affect valuable assets. It is characterized by the rise in groundwater level that is possibly due to blocking or changing natural drainage patterns due to urban developmental activities like laying roads, constructing buildings and other infrastructures, and leakage of pipes and drains. The most common sources of urban salinity are untreated urban effluents/industrial wastewater, building materials, fertilizers, and chemicals (Brindha and Schneider 2019).
