Abstract

Agriculture mostly depends on suitable supply of water for irrigation. Before application of water, water quality must be measured because of secure in-toxic food production If the Poor quality of irrigation water is not managed properly then it poses many hazards to plant production. So for the better plant and crop production the quality of the water need to be analyzed properly and improving further management. With the finality to analyze the irrigation water quality (physico-chemical parameters), different places of Pabna District were evaluated. Twenty water samples were collected in the winter season (January-march) and then they were examined for temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), soluble sodium percentage (SSP), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), and so on. The study indicates that waters were found within the permissible limits for irrigation purposes. So, The irrigation water samples from surface water, Ground water and deep tube-wells water can be used in agricultural purposes.
