The article considers the problems of irrigation water quality in Central Asia through hydroecological monitoring. Practical and scientific recommendations for solving these problems are offered. There are noted the necessity of development of scientific base of researches on all aspects of water quality and protection of water resources; adoption of laws and administrative documents on protection of waters and improvement of their quality; performance of various engineering, technological actions. The hydroecological state of surface waters of large irrigated areas of the Amudarya river basin was studied for regieon: Surkhandarya, Kashkadarya, Khorezm and irrigated zones of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. It is noted that the process of salinization of irrigated lands is dangerous for the region. According to the calculations 50...55 million tons of various salts are came to irrigated annually fields. This is the reason for the deterioration of the hydrological state of irrigated agriculture in the region.

Groundwater is an important source for a drink and irrigation in the Blinaja river basin. Understanding knowledge of irrigation water quality is critical to the management of water for long-term productivity. Historically for this study area there is no data and information regarding the quality and use of water for irrigation needs. Therefore, there was a need to assess water quality based on data analysed from eight sampling points. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate, relying on analytical results, the quality of groundwater in the Blinaja river basin for the purpose of its use for irrigation of agricultural crops. For this purpose, in the Blinaja River Basin in different months during 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019, 28 water samples were taken to assess the quality of groundwater for irrigation. Water samples were analysed in a laboratory for some of the key quality indicators; pH, EC, hardness (TH), Ca, Mg, Na, K, HCO3, SO4, Cl, etc. and then irrigation water quality indices were calculated such as: percentage of Na (% Na), SAR (Sodium Adsorption Ratio), PI (Permeability index), KR (Kelly's ratio), etc. The overall objective of this study was to assess the quality of water to be used by the inhabitants of the area for irrigation of agricultural crops. Analytical procedures for the laboratory determinations of water quality have been given in several publications (USDA Handbook 60 by Richards, 1954; FAO Soils Bulletin 10 by Dewis and Freitas1970; APHA 2005). Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091740 Full Text: PDF

The objective of this chapter is to carry out an analysis of the water quality of six different sites in the Manhuaçu River basin and to propose measures for the saved sites. Changes in land cover occur and can cause degradation of the landscape. Hydrographic data selected by IBGE and IEDE level curves on a scale of 1: 50,000 were used and performed on MDEHC using Arc GIS software. Six different locations were collected in the field in the Manhuaçu River basin in February 2019. The records provided by SAAE Manhuaçu were also used. How the analyzes were evaluated and using a Water Quality Index (IQA) for the saved locations. As sub-basins Córrego Bom Jesus, Rio Manhuaçu and Rio São Luis lowered low values of dissolved oxygen with values of 0.0; 2.3 and 2.5 mg l-1, respectively. Córrego Bom Jesus had the lowest IQA value, followed by Rio Manhuaçu and Rio São Luis with values of 36.69; 44.92 and 47.84 values considered ruins. High levels of pesticides were not detected in surface waters. The product of coffee plantations close to water courses and a potential contamination by pesticides are of concern, and it is necessary to increase a protected area in the riparian zone.

<p>Irrigated agriculture is dependent on an adequate water supply of usable quality. The analysis of physico­chemical parameters of surface water inJember District was done for the criteria of irrigation water quality. Surface water comprises spring water, falls, rivers, and tertiary irrigation channels. For this purpose, three sectors or locations were chosen to take twenty seven water samples in the summer season (September to October, 2013). DO, electrical conductivity (ECw), pH, and water temperature values were measured directly in the field,while analyses of nitrate (NH3-N), orthophosphate, total dissolved solids (TDS), and bicarbonate (HCO3-) was conducted in a laboratory. The results indicated that ECw, TDS, pH, water temperature,NH3-N, and orthophosphate were under the limits set out by the Rules of the Republic of Indonesia Government (PP RI) No. 82, 2001, for water quality standard and FAO for irrigation water quality standard. Thus, the surface water of Jember District was considered to be suitable for irrigation at the sampled location.</p><p><br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: Surface water quality; irrigation; physico-chemical parameter; Jember District.</p>

In the Republic of Uzbekistan, an increasing shortage of water resources and insufficient supply of clean drinking water is forcing the population to use river water for domestic and drinking needs. Moreover, the health of the population largely depends on the quality of surface waters. This fact makes it relevant to monitor surface water, identify areas with high pollution, identify the most dangerous ingredients for the health of the population and take measures to minimize them. The hydrometeorological service of the Republic of Uzbekistan currently uses a methodology for assessing the quality of surface water that was developed back in 1988 and does not meet modern requirements. For this reason, in the operational practice of Russia since 2002, the “Method of a comprehensive assessment of the degree of pollution of surface waters by hydrochemical indicators” has been used, which is more promising. A method for assessing the quality of surface water is proposed, based on an analysis of the source information for all gauging stations and ingredients. This article presents the results of the development of a map of hydroecological zoning based on materials for 1997–2006 and a forecast map of hydroecological zoning for 2015. The forecast is based on hydrochemical data, which included information on the hydrochemical composition of surface waters for 1997–2006 for all posts of the republic. According to the research results, areas with increased pollution of surface water and ingredients with a significant excess of maximum permissible concentrations were identified. Among them, mercury occupies a special place. A comparative analysis of the forecast map with a map of the actual state of surface water quality, developed by us based on the materials of the hydrometeorological service of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2014–2015, is carried out. The analysis showed a good agreement between the forecast data on the location of areas with unsatisfactory surface water quality and the actual materials, which makes it possible to use a forecast map to identify problem areas with high surface water pollution. Studies have revealed the need for high-quality laboratory chemical analyzes of water for all the ingredients included in the database of the hydrometeorological service of the Republic of Uzbekistan. In this case, special attention should be paid to such highly toxic ingredients as mercury. Urgent measures must be taken to inventory mercury sources in surface waters and measures should be developed to minimize its release.

Concentrations and loads of N-NO3, N-NH4, PO4 and BOD5 in waters of the upper Dunajec (in the years 1985-1998) Loads of N-NO3, N-NH4, PO4 and BOD5 carried in surface waters of the upper Dunajec catchment basin (at the section in Krościenko) in the years 1985-1998 are presented in this paper. Water quality of the Biały Dunajec (in Szaflary), Czarny Dunajec (in Ludźmierz) and Dunajec (in Krościenko) was characterised. Annual loads discharged from the area per km2 of the catchment were calculated from mean annual flows (SQ) and concentrations of studied components in river waters. Concentration of N-NO3 in waters of the Biały Dunajec was more than two times higher and that of phosphates - over seven times higher than the respective concentrations in the Czarny Dunajec and Dunajec. Different population density, numerous tourists and low level of water and sewage infrastructure were responsible for these differences.
