    Water Logging and Salinity Control

    Water logging occurs when excess water at underground levels rises to the surface, displacing air in the soil. This can be caused by permanent or periodic submersion, heavy rainfall, or over-irrigation. Effects include inhibited plant growth due to lack of oxygen and accumulation of toxins in the soil. Salinity issues can also arise if salts in the soil mix with rising groundwater and form crusts on the surface. Proposed solutions include improved drainage, reducing percolation from canals, restricting irrigation, and allowing soils to dry between waterings.

     Water Logging:
    Water logging is the natural flooding and over-
    irrigation that brings water at underground
    levels to the surface. As a consequence,
    displacement of the air occurs in the soil with
    corresponding changes in soil processes and an
    accumulation of toxic substances that impede
    plant growth
     1) Water logging due to permanent submersion of land.
    Such as ponds, rivers, etc.
     2) Water logging from periodical submersion such as
    coastal &land inundation by soil water or runoff of
    freshwater over lands etc.
     3) Temporary water logging by stagnation of water as a
    result of heavy rainfall.
     4)Another cause of water logging is swampy areas in
    valleys.
     5) Water logging from artificial irrigation of agricultural
    lands in polders areas.
     Inadequate surface Drainage
     Seepage from canal system
     Over irrigation of fields
     Impermeable clay layer below the soil.
     Construction of a water reservoir
     Natural obstruction to the flow of ground
    water
     Inhabiting activity of soil bacteria.
     Decrease in available capillary water
     Fall in soil temperature
     Defective air circulation
     Rise of salt
     Delay in cultivation operations
     Growth of flora(unwanted plants species)
     Adverse effects on community health
     Less availability of oxygen
     Providing efficient surface Drainage.
     Reducing percolation(the slow passage of a
    liquid through a filtering medium) from canals.
     Restriction of unwanted irrigation.
     Adoption of sprinkler method for irrigation
     Removing obstructions in natural drainage.
    If the concentration of harmful salts in the root
    zone of a plant increases to such on extent that
    plant growth is effected, this situation is called
    Salinity.
     The factors contributing towards the problem
    of salinity are almost same as that of water
    logging.

     Every agricultural soil has certain mineral salt is


    also called alkali salts in it like NaCl, Na2CO3,
    Na2 SO4 etc.
     When these soluble alkali salts are excess in
    soil these salts get mixed with ground water
    and with upward movement of water not
    only accumulated in first 3~4ft of soil layer
    below ground surface but also form a tin
    2”~3” crust on surface.
     Corrosive Action to Plants.

     Formation of Alkali Soil.


     Controlled Irrigation.
     Providing adequate surface drainage.
     Allowing lower intensity of irrigation.
     Reducing surface evaporation.
     Not using alkaline water for irrigation purpose.
