Description
Portable water Test Kit can determine pH, Electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, alkalinity and salinity, apart from cations like calcium, & Magnesium and anions like carbonates & bi-carbonates, sulphate, chlorides, nitrates, phosphates and fluorides which are important from water quality, salinity hazard, plant nutrition and environmental points of view. As the composition of irrigation water is mostly evaluated to determine its suitability for irrigation and much less as carriers of plant nutrients, greater coverage has been given to water quality aspects. In addition to above analytical methods, interpretation of analytical data from the end point of view has been included. This Water Kit has been designed for a range of irrigation waters and is quite suitable for small and marginal farmers of the semi arid regions in India. Also, this water test kit is applicable in a wide range of cultivatable irrigated areas. This portable irrigation Water Test Kit is ideal for professional scientists alike, for irrigation water quality assessment under a wide variety of conditions. Farmers, researchers, extension agents, and educators can use the versatile test kit at remote sites, in the classroom, or even in areas lacking electricity.
