Irrigation
water quality shows whether the water source is suitable for its intended use
or not. It is important to use quality irrigation water to reduce water-related
problems for the environment, soil and plants. For this purpose, water samples
were taken during the growing season (June, July and August) from 4 different
water sources (S1, S2, S3, and S4) in Van Yüzüncü Yıl University Campus, and
some physical and chemical properties (water tempature, EC, salinity, pH, total
suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, Cl-, Ca+2, Mg+2,
total harness, Na+, K+, CO32-, HCO3-,
total
alkalinity, NO3--N, NO2--N, NH3-N, total phosphorus (TP), PO43–,
total iron, and SO42-)
were determined. In addition, Sodium Adsorption Rate (SAR), Residual Sodium Carbonate
(RSC), Sodium percentage (% Na), and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) values were
calculated from the data obtained. In the study, it was determined that the
values of anion, cation, pH, turbidity, TSS, SAR, RSC and % Na in the
irrigation waters in all stations did not exceed the limit values of the
relevant regulations. As a result, it has been determined that the waters in S1
and S2 stations can be used for irrigation purposes without causing any
problems. On the other hand, it is recommended that S3 and S4 stations are in
the 3rd class irrigation (C3S1) class in terms of EC
values in water, and that it should be used cautiously in irrigation of
salt-sensitive plants and that the changes in dissolved salt content should be
regularly monitored.
