Abstract/Description: | Irrigation using groundwater is the only source in some major shrink-swell tropics. The quality of this irrigation water deteriorating very quickly. Hence there is an urgent need to access the quality of irrigation water and also to ascertain whether irrigating with poor quality groundwater is the major cause of degradation of shrink-swell black soils. The present study was undertaken in Amravati district of Maharashtra. Water samples were collected from specific locations and analysed for various parameters to access the quality of irrigation water. The quality of irrigation water decreased in the trend, Warud (C3S1) > Daryapur (C2S1) > Amravari (C3S2) > Bhatkuli (C4S1). Irrigation with groundwater in the study area resulted in the increase in pH, EC, exchangeable Na, Mg and K. Moreover, irrigation increased the ESP by 7 to 9 times in all the layers of soil profiles compared to the unirrigated soil profiles. Other causes of degradation and ameliorative and preventive measures which can be undertaken to deaccelerate degradation of soils are discussed. |
