When soil becomes too salty what are some methods of remediation?
Difficult to remediate as salts are not easily broken down . Mainly the remediation goals are to flush the salts down into the soil profile, allowing vegetation to return to the top layer. Not really a solution, rather displacement of the problem. Promising results have been obtained using humates and other organic media. The mechanisms are not fully understood but worth investigating.

How the delta formed?
I assume you mean river deltas. They are an accumulation of soil deposits from the river. The river picks up certain amounts of soil as the water travels down its length and once it empties into a lake or sea the soil falls on the same spot. This eventually builds up a small mound of soil.BETTER, MORE EASIER TO UNDERSTAND ANSWER:Deltas are formed when rivers pull dirt and silt from their banks into the current. When the river reaches the ocean it deposits the silt. Over time the silt builds up to create little Islands at the mouth of the river called a Delta.
