Slack waters at Digha, Midnapur district, West Bengal are used for irrigation in Betel Cultivation. For quality of slack waters, estimations for pH, T. S. S., CO2, HCO3, Cl, SO4 Ca, Mg and Na were done. These slack Waters are compared - with the local sea water and world average Fresh water It is inferred that these slack waters-are not under the Influence of sea water and can well be compared with world average fresh water. Salinity and sodium hazards are low in slack waters, as such they can be used for irrigation with advantage.

Abstract


Slack waters at Digha, Midnapur district, West Bengal are used for irrigation in Betel Cultivation. For quality of slack waters, estimations for pH, T. S. S., CO2, HCO3, Cl, SO4 Ca, Mg and Na were done. These slack Waters are compared - with the local sea water and world average Fresh water It is inferred that these slack waters-are not under the Influence of sea water and can well be compared with world average fresh water. Salinity and sodium hazards are low in slack waters, as such they can be used for irrigation with advantage.
