Abstract |
|
The quality of the available water must be tested to check its fitness prior to use. Irrigation water, whether diverted from streams or pumped from tube wells, contain appreciable quantities of harmful substances in solution those may reduce crop yield and deteriorate soil fertility. The main characteristics to assess the quality of irrigation water are Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Sodium Absorptions Ratio (SAR), Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Chloride. The quality of water is being deteriorated due to disposal of untreated industrial wastewater and agricultural saline effluents directly to groundwater and canal water. The application of poor quality water for irrigation can cause soil problems such as salinity, sodicity, alkalinity, toxicity and water infiltration rate. |
