Abstract |
|
A study is conducted to assess the groundwater quality of the Chhindwara block, Distt. Chhindwara. Specifically, the irrigation water quality is to be determined. The parameters for determining the irrigation water quality are soluble sodium percentage, sodium absorption ratio, Kelley’s ratio, Permeability index, magnesium ratio and residual sodium carbonate. The calculated sodium absorption values of the groundwater samples of the study area suggested that the water is excellent for irrigation purpose. The other parameters also suggest that the groundwater is suitable for irrigation. The samples plotted on U.S. salinity diagram indicate that the groundwater of the region is medium to high saline and low alkaline in nature. |
