“…Finding that this angle is slightly lower than in the untreated water, which indicates a decrease in hydrophobicity. The above is in accordance with Otsuka and Ozeki (2006), results who observed that the contact angle of droplets of magnetized water was lower than that of untreated water, measured on a copper surface. Other authors (Amiri and Dadkhah, 2006 ;Cai et al, 2009 ;Toledo et al, 2013 andHasaani et al, 2015) have verified a reduction in surface tension under different experimental conditions.…”

“…It is clear now, that the ionization of both salts increases by elevating the pH value. This result is linked to other works which declare that, the magnetic treatment of water has been reported to change some of the physical and chemical properties of water, mainly hydrogen bonding, polarity, surface tension, conductivity, pH and solubility of salts (21)(22)(23)(24) .…”

HE EFFECT of static magnetic field of 450 gauss magnetic power on the electrical conductivity (E.C.) of 1000 ppm anhydrous sodium carbonate and monohydrate sodium carbonate solutions as a function to the solubility at different temperature and pH values was studied. A magnetic funnel of 41.66 ml/sec flow rate was used to prepare the magnetic water by passing the later 1, 5 and 10 times, before dissolving the anhydrous sodium carbonate and monohydrate sodium carbonate salts. It was found that, the increasing in pH value is more influential as compared with the elevation in temperature degree. In general, the E.C. value of magnetic solution of anhydrous sodium carbonate is higher than monohydrate sodium carbonate solution and both are higher than non-magnetic solutions. As a result it can be concluded that the use of magnetized water will increase the solubility of anhydrous sodium carbonate and monohydrate sodium carbonate salts. Therefore, we are recommending using the magnetized solutions of these two kinds of salts in biological, industrial and physiological systems.

“…Importantly, its salts are known to be a major contributor to the osmotic potential of cells and tissues [22]. Many researchers have shown that magnetic treatment changes the physical parameters of water such as surface tension [23], diffusion velocity [19], salts' solubility [24], vibration modes and electrolytic potential [25]. Some of these parameters could impact osmotic potential and therefore nutrient uptake.…”

Drought conditions in the Southwestern U. S. and other parts of the world, the potential future impacts of climate change and politically-charged decisions regarding the allocation of water resources continue to challenge the agricultural community to find ways to successfully grow necessary food crops using less irrigation water. In addition, in many parts of the U. S., high levels of certain salts render ground water supplies unusable for salt-sensitive crops. Salt accumulation in soil and in tissues can also be a problem when water conservation methods are applied. Methods that save water and counteract salt accumulation are needed. Historically, magnetic water treatment (MWT) has shown promise in addressing both concerns though results have been inconsistent and somewhat controversial. This study evaluated the effect of MWT on lettuce yield, photosynthetic activity and nutrient levels under various irrigation reduction regimes. In addition, Watermark soil moisture sensors from Irrometer were used to measure the matric potential of root-depth soil of MWT, and non-MWT plants under those same regimes. Results indicated that statistically significant increases in yield, total chlorophyll and concentrations of some macro and micro-nutrients in plants treated by MWT could be achieved while using significantly less water compared to non-MWT irrigation water. In addition, MWT may also help counteract the effect of harmful sodium buildup in plants when less irrigation water was used.
