Abstract

In Malpura block of Tonk district, a survey was conducted to evaluate the quality of the groundwater and determine how it affected the soil qualities. Using a handheld GPS, 60 groundwater samples and 60 soil samples overall were taken at six sites include Lawa(V1), Borkhandi(V2), Kadila(V3), Jankipura(V4), Diggi(V5) and Nukkad(V6) in the Malpura block of the Tonk district. The pH, EC, SAR and RSC of ground water ranged from 6.95-8.40, 2.18-3.15(dsm-1), 2.73-10.45 (m mol/L), 1.64-22.3 (meq/L), respectively. The anion contents followed the pattern Cl>SO42> HCO3>NO3>CO32 whereas the cations were found to be in the following order: Na+> Mg2+> Ca2+> K+. The village of Lawa had the lowest saturation rate (22.84%) and Diggi had the highest saturation percentage (38.34%). The correlation coefficient revealed that electrical conductivity (EC) of soil saturation extract was significantly and positively correlated with EC (0.625), Cl- (0.200) and Na+ (0.242) of Groundwater used for irrigation.
