A Case study was undertaken to attempt the assessment and management of underground water quality in different land slopes of calcareous soils (India). The underground water of open/tube wells situated at higher elevation have low pH, EC, water soluble Mg2+, Na+, CO32-, HCO3-, Cl-, SSP and SAR than in lower elevations. The SSP and SAR also increased with increase in EC and pH. The underground water from undulating upper pediment (typic ustothrents) as well as upper pediment (typic ustothrents) and lower pediment (Vertic Haplustepts) of calcareous soils were placed under safe class of C2S1 and C3S1, respectively. Whereas the alluvial plain (Calcic Haplustepts) and coastal plain (Fluventic Haplustepts) in doubtful class of C4S1 and C4S2, respectively. In general, underground water samples from different land slopes of calcareous soils were placed under C3S1 water quality class.Keywords

The five representative soil pedons were studied for characterization and evaluate for soil-site suitability for soybean in the soils of Meghal Irrigation Command area of Southern Saurashtra region in Gujarat. The soils of study area were moderately alkaline in reaction and highly calcareous in nature. The soils on higher altitude have low pH, EC, CEC and ESP than the soils on lower altitude. The soils over undulating upper pediment (Typic Ustorthents) and coastal plain (Fluventic Haplustepts) were placed in sustainable class S2 whereas soils associated with upper pediment (Typic Ustothrents), lower pediment (Vertic Haplustepts) and alluvial plain (Calcic Haplustepts) were placed in sustainable with high input class S3. The soils over Lower Pediment, alluvial plain and coastal plain were marginally suitable (S3) whereas upper pediment were currently not suitable (N1) for soybean cultivation. The soils over undulating upper pediment were not suitable (N2) for soybean cultivation.Keywords
