In arid and semi arid regions, water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource and planners are forced to consider any sources of water which might be used economically and effectively to promote further development. At the same time, with population expanding at a high rate, the need for increased food production is apparent. The potential of irrigation to raise both agricultural productivity and the living standards of the rural poor has long been recognized. Concern about the proper utilization of poor quality waters for crop production in areas where their use is inevitable is not new. Researchers have made concerted efforts for the development of management practices which prevent the build-up of salinity, sodicity and toxicity in the rootzone at levels which limit the productivity of soil. This can only be achieved if the effect of factors such as rainfall, climate and water table and water quality characteristics on soils and crops are integrated for evolving appropriate crop/agronomic and irrigation management practices. Although there is no universal definition of 'marginal quality' water, for all practical purposes it can be defined as water that possesses certain characteristics which have the potential to cause problems when it is used for an intended purpose. For example, brackish water is marginal quality water for agricultural use because of its high dissolved salt content, and municipal wastewater is marginal quality water because of the associated health hazards. From the viewpoint of irrigation, use of ‘marginal’ quality water requires more complex management practices and more stringent monitoring procedures than with good quality water is used.
