Assessment of Water Quality Indices for Irrigation of Dharta Watershed Udaipur Rajasthan India

Validate the suitability of water for agriculture on the basis of the quality indices is the key objective of this study. The quality of water was evaluated by analyzing parameters such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, alkalinity and bicarbonates. The quality indices were evaluated and ranged as Sodium Absorption Ratio 0.54 to 5.80 ppm, Soluble Sodium percentage 10.47 to 59.17 ppm, Residual Sodium Carbonate 26.25 to 1.24 ppm, Permeability Index 25.16 to 79.78 and Kelly’s Ratio 0.12 to 1.45 ppm. The outcomes were compared to the WHO and BIS standards. According to salinity hazard in which based on EC, 18.33 samples are unsuitable for irrigation, while 26.67 samples are utilize by suitable water treatment, On the basis of TDS 5 of water samples are belongs to moderately saline category which is reduce by some irrigation practices. On the other side based on Sodium hazard all the samples are found within the range of excellent category, which means water is suitable for irrigation purpose. The calculated indices were fit in agreement by means of WHO and BIS. The documentation contains information about the impact of the irrigation water quality on the agriculture. Katara P. | Mittal H.
