Abstract/Description: | Water retention and transmission characteristics of Mahi Right Bank Canal (MRBC) command area of Gujarat were studied. The soils of the command area are characterised as Vertic Halaquepts, Typic Halaquepts, typic Ustochrepts, Fluventic Ustochrepts, Vertic Ustochrepts, Typic Ustorthents and Fluventic Ustorthents. Vertic Halaquepts, Typic Halaquepts and Vertic Ustochrepts come under textural class of clay, Typic Ustochrepts are clay loam, whereas Fluventic Ustochrepts, Typic Ustorthents and Fluventic Ustorthents are sandy clay loam to sandy loam. Vertic Halaquepts and Typic Halaquepts are saline in nature and the other soil groups are nonsaline. Water retention at various suction correlated negatively with sand and silt and positively with clay, organic carbon, EC and pH. The characteristics of soil water retention indicated that at any given suction, magnitude of water retention follow the order Vertic Halaquepts Typic Halaquepts Vertic Ustochrepts Typic Ustochrepts Fluventic Ustochrepts Fluventic Ustorthents Typic Ustorthents. The available water capacity was categorised as high in Vertic Halaquepts, Typic Halaquepts and Vertic Ustochrepts, medium in Typic Ustochrepts and lower in Fluventic Ustochrepts, Typic Ustorthents and fluventic Ustorthents. Wide variation was observed in saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) of the soils, the highest (38.0-46.8 x 10-7 ms-1) was observed in Typic Ustorthents and lowest (2.4-2.8 x 10-7 ms-1) in vertic Halaquepts. |
