WATER QUALITY FOR SUPPLEMENTARY IRRIGATION IN THE QUEQUÉN SALADO RIVER BASIN (ARGENTINA)
Abstract
This paper focuses on the study of the water quality in the courses which compose the Quequén Salado river basin, Argentina, in order to determine their suitability for supplementary irrigation. Water samples were analysed lo assess their salinity and sodium hazard. The creeks from the hill sector have Very Good Quality Waters and tbe water of the middle basin courses can be used to irrigate the main crops in the area. The salinity values obtained in the main river are tolerated only by barley hay and some pastures.Downloads
