Abstract

Chemical analysis of ground water samples of Mula right bank canal command area in Rahuri tahsil of Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra State of India was carried out to determine the suitability of groundwater for irrigation. Sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) concentrations in the water samples were analyzed and Electrical conductivity (EC) was measured periodically during December 2006 to March 2007. The results indicated that the groundwater can be used for irrigation with the suitable management practices.
