Irrigation water suitability, soil, salinity, crops, the farm and food safety.
Use when the key question is whether water is suitable for irrigation and what the farm, soil, and crop implications are.
Irrigation suitability, soil/salinity implications, farm-level practices, food safety (GAP).
General reuse frameworks outside agriculture, process control for drinking water.
The Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) and electrical conductivity (EC) are the two primary indices for assessing irrigation water suitability. This article explains how they are calculated, how they interact to affect soil permeability and crop yield, and how the Ayers-Westcot framework translates measurements into practical irrigation restrictions.
