“…In terms of KR, all values were lower than 1, indicating that the water is suitable for irrigation as mentioned by [10] (Figure 13). PS values, which influenced by Cl and SO 4, were higher than 3 (Figure 14), indicating that the water is not suitable for irrigation [5]. However, PI as indicator of soil permeability which affected by the watering for long durations and the concentration of Na, Ca, HCO 3 and Mg in the soil.…”

“…According to Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) limits [10], SAR problem is low in the study area during the wet season, as all values were less than 10. Based on the US salinity diagram that is used to evaluate the rate of infiltration according to SAR and EC values [4,5], all samples in this work were within the class C4-S2, which indicated that the water of Garmat Ali river is characterized by high salinity and low sodium. Therefore, its acceptable for watering any type of soil, and only the plants that adapted with high levels of salinity.…”

“…The mean values of SSP, reflecting the percent of soluble sodium in water, is < 60% ( Table 2). Water containing high SSP, more than sixty percent, leading to accumulate sodium ions in the soil and consequently reduces the permeability and aeration, and fracture the soil structure [5,10]. According to FAO guideline [4], the toxicity of SSP was classified as medium in January and high in March (Figure 4b).…”

This study investigates the suitability of Garmat Ali river (Iraq) for irrigation uses. Two stations were chosen: station A; far from any polluted water discharge point, and station C; near to a very contaminated water discharge point). Water samples were picked up and tested for pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, sulfate, chlorine, and nitrate. Three samples were collected in January and March 2019 from each site, to reflect the wet season in Iraq. Besides the classification of water quality parameters of Garmat Ali river for watering, other parameters were also calculated, such as sodium adsorption ratio, soluble sodium percentage, exchangeable sodium percentage, magnesium hazard, kelly ratio, permeability index, and potential salinity. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) guidelines, the overall results showed that the salinity and chlorine were within the range that causing severe problem to plants. In addition, sodium toxicity and hazard were classified the river water as unsuitable for irrigation. Potential salinity was under the class of unsuitable for irrigation. Bicarbonate hazard was under the category “slight to moderate”. However, the remaining parameters were within the accepted range. Most of the contaminants were higher in the polluted station.

INTRODUÇÃO Diversos são os fatores que contribuem para um cenário de escassez hídrica no Ceará, quadros climáticos extremos, baixas e irregulares médias pluviométricas, assim como altas taxas de evaporação, constituem alguns fatores determinantes na quantidade e qualidade das águas da região (SANTOS et al., 2013).Historicamente, a crise o desafio hídrico na reião tem sido enfrentado através da construção de reservatórios superficiais, os açudes (SANTIAGO et al., 2002; INSA, 2012). Contudo, a região continua enfrentando problemas de acesso à agua. Nesse cenário, as águas subterrâneas se apresentam como uma alternativa face a situação hídrica cearense. Palavras-chave:Águas Subterrâneas. Embasamento cristalino. Índices de qualidade de água. ResumoEste trabalho caracterizou, através da análise dos constituintes químicos e com o auxílio de índices de qualidade de água, as águas subterrâneas, sob embasamento cristalino, de parte do semiárido cearense, localizado entre os municípios de Banabuiú, Quixadá e Quixeramobim. Os índices de estabilidade mostraram uma forte tendência corrosiva das águas. Os índices de irrigação indicaram que parte das águas apresentam elevado risco de sodificação e salinização do solo, não sendo adequadas para o uso na agricultura. Os índices gerais de qualidade dividiram as águas em dois tipos: de boa qualidade e uso adequado e de qualidade inadequada e uso restrito. AbstractThis research characterized the groundwater, under crystalline basement, of a portion of Ceará's semiarid analyzing the ionic content of the groundwater and using water quality indices. All the stability indices indicated a strong corrosive tendency. Regarding irrigation purposes, part of the groundwater has a high risk of soil salinization and sodification. The water quality indices related to ionic content divided the groundwater in two, those with good quality and appropriate for general use and those with low quality and inappropriate for general use.

The study's aim was to assess the impact of using water from Lake Abaya for irrigation and its impact on soil quality at Mirab Abaya, Ethiopia. Six water samples from the edge of Lake Abaya and 30 (18 irrigated and 12 rain-fed) composite soil samples from farm lands in Wajifo, Fura and Algae were collected. Analyses showed that the use of water from Lake Abaya will bring a soil salinity hazard in future. The soil analyses showed variations in space and time in the physico-chemical components in the study area. The highest salinity was reported from Algae, the closest site to the Lake. The highest soil alkalinity was reported from Wajifo, which has a long irrigation history. The irrigated soils reported higher salinity than the rain-fed soils, indicating that water from Lake Abaya can affect irrigated soil quality. In general, Lake Abaya water is not suitable for salt-sensitive crops and caution is required in using it for irrigation.
