Better water management can overcome big water crisis hovering over the country

Our country may face a severe water crisis in the coming years. Experts believe that people in India are not understanding the importance of water and are wasting it a lot. In such a situation, due to this waste of water, about 60 crore people of the country may have to face water shortage in the coming time.

At present, a large population of about two lakh people are not getting clean water due to which they are either losing their lives or are suffering from serious diseases.

What is the solution
It is not that there is a big water problem in India, but water management in India is not in good condition due to which rainwater is allowed to flow in many states of the country every year. The truth is that the problem of water crisis can be prevented only by better management of water in India.

Irrigation Water quality

15/12/2017Posted on

The water quality used for irrigation is essential for the yield and quantity of crops, maintenance of soil productivity, and protection of the environment. For example, the physical and mechanical properties of the soil, ex. soil structure (stability of aggregates) and permeability are very sensitive to the type of exchangeable ions present in irrigation waters.

Irrigation water quality can best be determined by chemical laboratory analysis. The most important factors to determine the suitability of water use in agriculture are the following:

  • PH
  • Salinity Hazard
  • Sodium Hazard (Sodium Adsorption Ration or SAR)
  • Carbonate and bicarbonates in relation with the Ca & Mg Content
  • Other trace elements
  • Toxic anions
  • Nutrients
  • Free chlorine
