Abstract

The Government of Madras sanctioned a scheme of irrigation soil survey in the Amaravathy Reservoir Project ayacut area in early 1959. In addition to arriving at a classification of the soils into irrigation suitablity classes, the scheme envisages the zoning of areas which might deteriorate on irrigation due to salts or alkali and suggesting suitable remedial measures for their reclamation. Quality of water is an important consideration in an appraisal of salinity or alkali conditions in an irrigated area. Therefore, a study of the quality of canal and well waters in the area has been made and reported in this paper.
