Suitability Assessment of Groundwater for Irrigation in Some Villages of Sirsa District, Haryana (India). Issue 1 (June 2021) - Kumar, P
Abstract: To determine the groundwater quality a total of twenty groundwater samples were collected from some villages of Sirsa district, Haryana, India, which is one of the most important agricultural areas of the state. The groundwater samples were collected in November 2016 from different villages of the city Sirsa. The suitability of groundwater for irrigation was assessed by determining the Sodium Absorption Ratio, % Na, Kelly's Index, Permeability index, EC, Chloro-alkaline indices and Residual Sodium Carbonate. The CAI analysis shows the reverse cation exchange for most of the stations. The Gibbs diagrams show the precipitation dominance for most of the stations. The Piper diagram shows the alkali dominance for most of the samples. On the basis of the values of different parameters the quality of ground water at different stations was categorized into three different classes mainly excellent, good or unsuitable.
