The Jacaré-Curituba irrigated perimeter, located in the municipality of Poço Redondo, state of Sergipe, Northeast Brazil, lies in a semi-arid region and has the characteristic of being geared toward family farming. Thus, this work had as objective to evaluate the electrical conductivity (EC) of the water and the sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of the drainage water of a saline soil recovery area in field conditions. The field experiment was conducted in saline-sodium soil in irrigated plots, and the experimental design was completely randomized, with nine water sampling points and three replications. The collection points were as follows: drainage channel input (CDI), drainage channel outlet (CDO), lateral drains for each plot (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6) and useful water for irrigation (IW), with six water sampling campaigns being performed. The induced results showed that drain water has a much high risk of causing salinity.   Keywords: irrigated perimeter, salinity, semi-arid, irrigated agriculture.     LUCAS, A. A. T.; SANTOS, J. M.

QUALIDADE DA DRENAGEM DE ÁGUA DA REGIÃO NORDESTE DO BRASIL UTILIZANDO CONDUTIVIDADE ELÉTRICA E RAZÃO DE ADSORÇÃO DE SÓDIO     2 RESUMO   A salinidade do solo e da água é uma grande preocupação na agricultura irrigada, sendo que a condutividade elétrica deve ser considerada no planejamento da irrigação. O perímetro irrigado Jacaré-Curituba localizado no município de Poço Redondo, estado de Sergipe, Nordeste do Brasil, se situa na região semiárida e tem como característica ser voltado para agricultura familiar. Assim, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a condutividade elétrica da água (CE) e a razão de adsorção de sódio (RAS) da água de drenagem de uma área de recuperação de solo salino-sódico em condição de campo. O experimento de campo foi realizado em solo salino-sódico em lotes irrigados, sendo que o delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com nove pontos de amostragem de água e três repetições. Os pontos de coleta foram os seguintes: início da entrada do canal de drenagem (CDI), saída do canal de drenagem (CDO), drenos laterais para cada parcela (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6) e água utilizada para irrigação (IW), sendo realizadas seis campanhas de amostragem de água. Os resultados mostraram que a água de drenagem tem um risco alto e muito alto de causar salinidade.   Palavras-chave: perímetro irrigado, salinidade, região semiárida, agricultura irrigada.

Irrigated agriculture is an important strategic sector for Morocco, contributing to food security and employment. Nowadays, irrigation scheme managers shall ensure that water is optimally used. The main objective was to support the irrigation monitoring and management of wheat in the irrigated perimeter using optical remote sensing and crop modeling. The potential of spectral indices derived from SPOT-5 images was explored for quantifying and mapping surface water content changes at large scale. Indices were computed using the reflectance in red, near infrared, and shortwave infrared bands. A field crop model (AquaCrop) was adjusted and tested to simulate the grain yield and the temporal evolution of soil moisture status. This research aimed at providing a scientific and technical approach to assist policymakers and stakeholders to improve monitoring irrigation and mitigating wheat water stress at field and irrigation perimeter levels in semi-arid areas. The approach could lead to operational management tools for an efficient irrigation at field and regional levels.

Watumalang, Wonosobo, is a district with substantial spring utilization (60.66%). Limited management in quality of water utilization is considered a risk to health, especially from coliform contamination. The purpose of this study is to assess the risk of using raw water of POKMAIR group (spring users), specifically from the coliform aspect. The study was conducted primarily by water sampling and respondent questionnaires. Data analysis was performed descriptively and correlatively. The result shows that 71% of water samples did not meet the requirements as clean water from the coliform aspect. Utilization risk assessment shows that 37.5% of high-risk villages. Further analysis shows that the closest relationship to coliform was the ownership of sanitation facilities (r -0,381).

Abstract The aquatic ecosystem of the Meskiana Valley (wilaya of Oum El Bouaghi) covers a large area with a permanent flow and a semi-arid climate characterized by a strong evapotranspiration. In order to determine the Physico-chemical quality, pollution and salinity of the water of the river of Meskiana and more particularly in its downstream part which is exposed to wastewater discharges, analyses were carried out at the level of three sampling points: witness, the upstream (before spill), downstream (after spill)). In order to prevent the risk of alkalization and salinization of soil, the sodium absorption rate (SAR) and the percentage of sodium were determined and represented on the Wilcox and Riverside diagram. The high concentrations of polluting chemical elements and excessive salinity obtained at the downstream site show a high risk of pollution and salinization.


In this chapter, the authors describe Fluoride contamination spread in the environment. Fluoride in groundwater is a serious problem. Groundwater is the most valuable fresh water used for drinking purposes in different areas. Irrigation is one primordial sector in India where one-third of land surface falls under arid and semi-arid climate, and rainfall is seasonal and erratic. Semi-arid climate prevailing in Tonk district necessitates the characterization of groundwater quality for optimizing its use in irrigation as well as in domestic consumption. The majority of underground water contains a high concentration of salts, and their continuous use adversely affects soil, animal, and plant health, and thereby crop production. The plant-based phytoremediation approach to improve the quality of water and soil has become an area of importance to study regarding Fluoride.

A vast tract in Maharashtra State of India, constituted of horizontally disposed basaltic flows of Cretaceous-Eocene age, falls in the semi-arid climatic zone characterised by low precipitation and high temperature and evaporation. Such areas are marked by the variety of calcretes including massive, honeycomb, nodular, and powdery types. These calcretes which owe their origin to both pedogenic and nonpedogenic processes, are responsible for imparting the salinity to the groundwater. An integrated approach, involving geological, hydrogeological and hydrochemical studies, has been employed for delineating the boundary of saline and fresh waters in the groundwater system and evaluating the variation in salinity in the area around the Khathkari stream (18 13’ to 18 18’ N latitudes, and 74 13’ to 74 22’E longitudes) in Pune district. The paper briefly presents the data collected during the course of the work and incorporates the three-fold remedial measures such as i) protecting fresh water that occurs at deeper depth, ii) improving the present quality of water and iii) suggesting an appropriate crop-pattern that can stand for present and improved quality of water.

Water is a renewable natural resource, important for maintenance of life on the entire planet. Even with this significance is a feature that has been degraded and reduced the quality to use. In the Brazilian semi-arid region water scarcity by influencing the quality of life of the population, directly affecting the socio-economic and development means. In this context, the present research was conducted aiming to evaluate the water quality in the watershed Brazilian semiarid. The survey was conducted in three watersheds (Capibaribe river, Ipojuca river and Igarassu river) in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil.  Water Quality Index (WQI) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) annual averages of the year 2006 to 2015.  In Capibaribe river watershed the largest concentrations of BOD occurred in 213, 2014 and 2015, with average was 4.95 mg/L. By increasing the BOD value there is a reduction of WQI. The Igarassu river, it was verified that from 2006 to 2014 the hydrographic basin has water quality classified as good. The BOD in the waters of the Ipojuca river has little influence on the water quality index.There is a degradation on the quality of water of basins due mainly to anthropic pollution.

ABSTRACT Inland water environments, such as natural and artificial lakes, are increasingly vulnerable to extreme events (heavy rains, severe drought). This study aims to evaluate if this events affect the water quality of tropical semi-arid springs. The results showed that the reservoirs presented significant changes in the limnological variables between the rainy season and severe drought periods. However, different behaviors were observed among reservoirs in the period of severe drought, which indicate that the responses of these environments to extreme events should take into account other factors such as the climate of the region, the size and depth of the reservoir.
